Start by either scrambling to the left of the first bolt up the corner or, for a little extra difficulty and flavor, stay to the right of the first bolt and climb using the arete.

Enjoy the techy nature of the slab and a powerful, reachy move. For full value, Jam Crack is off route. 

Location

Just to the right of Jam Crack, up the pillar or arete onto the ledge below vertical, techy slab. 

Protection

5 Bolts to 2 Bolts Anchor.

[Hide Comment] This is a pretty special route. John took thirty years off from climbing, but has always wanted to bolt this line. Well, in the Summer of 2022, he finally decided to go for it, and it was worth the wait. Oct 7, 2022
