Lewd and Lascivious Conduct
Mar 18, 2023 · TR. Actually super good face climbing! No frictiony bullshit. Crimps, side-pulls, and edges all the way.
Trad
5.8+ 5b 16 VI- 15 HVS 4c

Young Lust
Mar 18, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. A sport climber’s trad climb. Arguably one of the most sporty routes at J-Tree. Actual holds the entire way; no crack technique required.
Trad

Double Dogleg
Mar 18, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Considering the climb only, better than Doublecross. Taking the approach into consideration, it’s a harder sell for sure. So good!

The Eye
Mar 18, 2023 · Solo. Two beers in, seemed like a good idea. Forgot chalk; remembered climbing shoes. Pretty exposed for the grade!

Smooth as Silk
Mar 18, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. Tricky for the grade.
