Three Strikes And You're Out

Three Strikes And You're Out is the extension to The Governor (or the second and final extension to Electric Chair). Three Strikes extends the climbing on these routes up through the awesome and exposed orange headwall to the top of the cliff providing for an epic 50 meter mega pitch. Though the moves aren't as difficult as those on The Governor or Electric Chair, the climbing is continuous and resistant, and adds a significant challenge if you are climbing close to your limit on The Governor.

The technical crux of Three Strikes comes at the first bolt in the form of a boulder problem utilizing a small crimp and some sidepulls. Boulder it out and then continue up on better holds through three more bolts of pumpy, sustained climbing, culminating in what is likely the redpoint crux - a series of long reaches between decent holds to reach a thank-god jug. From here, two more bolts protect the final 20 feet of easier climbing to the top.

For the full Jailhouse summit experience - highly recommended if you just redpointed - top out, untie, and walk off.

If you're working the route or prefer to lower from the last bolt, a 100m rope will get you to the ground in one lower and an 80m will get you there in two (pull the rope at the anchor for The Governor and then lower to the ground from there).

Straight up from the anchor for The Governor.
