Description
One of the few routes to combine pitches on the short wall between the Provando Wall and the Jammer Wall, this line takes the dead vertical crack on the left edge of the Provando Wall to the path ledge as its first pitch (~70', 5.7), then climbs the right-leaning vertical crack for its second, 30' pitch (5.7). The final pitch climbs either the vertical crack that leans rightward (5.5) or the steeper, wider crack to its right (5.7) to a final challenging face (5.6) to a fixed tree anchor.
Location
This route begins on the eponymous wall, which lies below the Upper Wall Access path, just before reaching the 3rd class step to the Jammer Wall. It can be accessed by rappel (the usual method), by traversing over from the top of Stairway to Heaven's second pitch, or by scrambling up the steep gully leading past Robin's Rainy Day Route.
