Follow existing trails and climb using removable protection or in climbing areas with existing approved fixed anchors or bolts. Development of any new rock climbing, bouldering or rappelling areas and development of any climbing routes involving the permanent installation of new fixed anchors or new trail construction requires prior Forest Service authorization.
Description
We mistakenly climbed this route thinking it was Rocket Man having approached the cliff from the right side. As a result, our rack was way off and we consequently found the route stiff. Unlike Rocket Man, Jaws is more varied in sizes from 0.75 to 5 with a tough thin hands section after the first rest. Can stem off the tree for the first ~40ft or so after which the route gets more difficult.
After the final roof, there isn't much of a place for an anchor aside from some #1-2 sized cracks off to the right. It sounds like the original line had a shorter second pitch that went to the top of the cliff. However, this rock looked kinda crappy and dirty so we added a new sling from which to rap ~50ft climber's right after walking across the ledge.
Note: beware of the large loose flake resting on top of the ledge before the final roof (nestled in between two sticker bushes).
