Description
A true Jasper mega classic and test piece. This magnificent slab line follows a lay back flake into tricky stemming on barely visible runnels and edges. Be flexible, be creative, and more than anything else, climb beautifully. The slab eases and hits a sit down rest at mid-height where you can pop off your shoes and wiggle your toes until they stop burning. Cruise the rest of the route to a pair of fat Metolius rap hangers!
Just kidding, put your shoes back on and get your head in the game, the second half of the climb hosts the slab mini-boulder crux, followed by more, incredibly sustained and very tenuous slab climbing all the way to the anchor.
The rock is magnificent, and the movement is incredible. Do not miss this climb!
