Description
Yabo (sit) start from the crack on the bottom right. Traverse over to the left with good feet, hands will require some technique and balance. Once you have traversed over to the left of the main bolder continue up to the right and top out at the horn.
Named Mel's drive-thru because it is located on the back end of the Mel's Diner Boulder.
Are you taking some gym climbers out to Jtree for their fist time outdoors? Well stop on by Mel's diner!!! While your real rock virgins test their fresh hands on that rough Jtree grit, swing over to Mel's drive through where we have had reviews like, "I hate whoever found this climb" and "that was interesting" even "should be a V2". Add to the list of comments after you ignore your fledgling gravity fighters for a few minutes and take a ride on Mel's Drive-Thru!!!
