Description

“Action Jackson" is established in memory of Dick Jackson (1950–2025), a legendary Aspen and US mountain guide and the founder of Aspen Expeditions. It is called Action Jackson, because there were times when Dick could not sit still.

Note: this is a second pitch or an extension to the lower routes.

Climb a few moves up and left on flakes until you can reach right and clip a bolt.

Make committing moves right on jugs following the bolts up and right through mostly jugs to a balancy anchor clip.

A healthy 60m rope barely makes the ground. It is no problem with a 70m rope. KNOT THE END OF YOUR ROPE!
