Description

 Jojo's is about as much fun as you can have in four bolts. The movement is wonderful the holds are memorable and the rock is superb. A must do Russell crags route.

Follow some bolts up the semi steep wall of overlapping and super colorful schist. The climbing is mostly juggy and the crux is encountered about halfway up at a chicken head. This section has now been done a bunch of different ways. Beta spoiler when you make it to the anchor there is a good hold just up and right of the scoop that makes clipping way more casual. 

People will often skip or unclip the first bolt after the second is clipped. It seems to be easier to belay without it clipped. 

Location

At the top, left end of the winter wall. Jojo's shares a belay alcove with Ita's Calico Corner 

Protection

4 or 5 bolts to lower off
