Description Suggest change

Start will small edges and good sidepulls to reach a high first bolt, stemming as needed against a low angle slab covered in gooseberry (or wild rose, one of those thorny fuckers which grow all over the Jungle).
Balance your way around a micro roof and along the edge of a nearly featureless panel of red stone then pull a thugish (or technical, your call) mantle on a narrow ledge. Pull down (not out) to establish in the corner forming the left edge of another immaculate shield, avoiding the left arete which we purposely did not clean (makes for an easy escape on shitty rock that would never clean-up, attempt at your own risks). Exit the corner by latching on to some threatening-looking yet solid blocks and mantle on a ledge to clip the anchors from the left (easier) or swing right for a final face sequence on small holds (harder).

Roy had sniffed out this nice pillar a couple minutes from the car and we decided to close the season with it. Filling in the blanks at the Lower Jungle...

Location Suggest change

PTP is located on the left side of the alcove which is also home to Mistah Kurtz - he dead. and Monkey Fist (easily seen from the Lower J parking lot). Look for a tapering pillar on the SE face of a detached tower. A very distinctive sheet of blank rock forms the upper third of the route.

Protection Suggest change

7 bolts to chain anchor.
