Description
This enormous corner feature which was almost certainly climbed by the Native Americans eons ago makes for an interesting little adventure and is highly recommended for kids even age 5 and under. The nature of the climbing is very similar to Monday Morning Slab in the Valley in difficulty and style.
From the big sandy ledge, head up the corner past ample pro and set a belay about 160' up at the base of a huge oddly shaped cave. Sometimes referred to as 'The Belly'. From here an easier pitch leads up the remainder of the corner to a rap station tucked away under the headwall.
DESCENT: Walking off is possible down and left to the west (stay under the headwall as long as possible before heading down) or you can rap. The rap is highly suggested if you are climbing with kids or not familiar with Tuolumne friction.
RAP DESCENT: Rap from a station which can be found discreetly tucked up under the headwall. (hard to see until you're right on it.) From here, rap straight down to the anchor for Jabberwalky. It sits at the top of an arch-like feature and again, is hard to see until you're right on it. A short and then full 60 meter rap lead down Aoxomoxoa to the sandy ledge.
