Description Suggest change

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).
