Jackson's Hole 5.8s

This is a variation of Picnic.

Climb the first 5 bolts of Picnic, then climb through the tight hole to the right of the 6th bolt, skipping the 6th bolt.

The FA rated it 5.8s

S is for silly.

NOTE: This hole is small!

Jackson is a thin guy and had to squeeze through stopping frequently to unsnag his gear loops.

He couldn't wear his helmet due to the small fit.

He was covered with scratches from the sharp features inside the hole

Seconding the route may not be possible or recommended.

Location

Across from and slightly downstream from the mouth of the Painted Canyon. Using the same start of Picnic

Protection

5 glue in bolts to chains

Jackson deep inside his hole. We were getting ready to climb the route to the left of him, and looked up to see him already chest deep.

[Hide Comment] This hole is what drew me to bolt Picnic! I am super jazzed that Jackson was able to climb the route that I had dreamed of! Feb 20, 2023
