Description
A super easy climb for first time leaders with interesting moves, tons of pro and a great location.
Pitch 1: Face climb past a handful of bolts (5.5) and belay below the corner as soon as you reach the horizontal. A natural gear belay is easy to place here using medium to large cams.
Pitch 2: Climb the corner above (5.5) for 60m to a belay station under the small roof. Mostly natural gear throughout with a couple bolts before the belay.
DESCENT: Rap down Aoxomoxoa with two 60m ropes. A short rap leads to a station and then a 60m rap takes you from there to the big sandy ledge.
(You can walk down this and the neighboring Aoxomoxoa, but then again skilled climbers have been walking down a lot harder routes than these since the '70s. ...Hmm, maybe that's why they call it Jabberwalky.)
