Access Issue: Regarding Local Ethics Details

If you use chalk on the rock, brush it off when you are done. If you use tick marks, brush them off when you are done. Wipe your feet off prior to each climbing attempt. Excess chalk and any dirt, leaves, or mud can polish holds over time. Do not drag your pad from one climb to the next (in order to minimize erosion). And most importantly, Leave No Trace. Pick up your trash and place it in the trash cans at the trail head.

Description

Two starts to this one. Sit directly under crack on good edges or off to the right in the lower crack (original start) and move up into overhanging crack and use hand and foot jams to reach the lip and from here move up and left on jugs to easy top!

Beware the big rock in the crack above the lip of the roof moves but would be difficult for it to fall out on a climber!

And just so we’re clear this route was originally called Jimi Jam and a large part of the climb fell to the ground below leaving a new/ different crack system in its place! It climbs totally different now (no jugs in the crack or at lip of roof but rather a pure jam crack with small edges at lip of roof) than prior to the rock fall! The morning after the rock fell the new line was established purely as a boulder problem and graded V2!

Also the large rock that fell off the roof was kind of in the way so it was moved in the spring of 2023
