What’s to say about what might be the best route at this cliff that had not been posted until today ? It takes a good eye to cherry-pick the best routes on a cliff, and Jordy has two great eyes ! Yes, this post is a tribute to J. Morgan…One Major Dude. Without his contributions Mt. St. Helena climbing would simply not exist in the way we enjoy it today. Heal up my friend. You are in our collective thoughts and we look forward to your rapid return to climbing and beyond ! 12/12/21

Location

This climb starts just right of 8 ball side pocket. The crux is down low clipping the first bolt from a stance and moving up through a stout vertical start. The remainder of the climb is spent cruising through amazing features reminiscent of an outdoor gym, only better. Climb through 8 bolts or so to arrive at an anchor, or continue to the top of the cliff and a higher finish.
