Description
A moderate difficulty climb that no longer has the lead bolts (as of 10.30.25)
Pitch 1: Face climb unprotected slab a long ways (or climb the corner on the left where there is some hollow sounding gear). Belay in the corner with med cams. A 70m rope is likely needed to make it to another gear belay if going a full 'pitch' from the bottom of the corner...
Pitch 2: Climb the corner above (5.5). The top of the crack pinches down. Either exit right to Jonah at a lower angle spot (near last ok piece of gear), or step left onto the slab above the corner and go straight up with a 70m rope to a flake that takes 3 or 4s.
Pitch 3: Continue up to the tree at the base of the headwall to facilitate a rap from the glue in bolts with rings. 5.4
DESCENT: Rap to the south (not the base of the route) with two ropes from the glue ins at the base of the headwall.
(You could alternatively down-scramble down this and the neighboring Aoxomoxoa from the top of p2. Skilled climbers have been walking down a lot harder routes than these since the '70s. However, for a leader at the grade it is probably best to continue to the bolts ...Hmm, maybe that's why they call it Jabberwalky?)
