Description

Follow this weird crack system up and left, then at a nice ledge trend up and right. The crux (and fun) of it might be finding the best pro placements.

Location

This crack is located in the middle of the slab. It trends left then back right.

Protection

doubles #0.4 to #3 (and I used every piece). Old fixed anchors are set back right, but it is better to build your own belay at the top of the climb with finger size pro. I would not rap off the bolts.

The 5.8 crack is the left leaning system.  Freeway Jam goes directly up the face.
