Description

Pleasant adventurous J Tree climb!

Either go up on the right and go through a bush before traversing left, or undertake an awkward series of jams. Establish in the obvious hand crack that seems steep for the grade.

Ascend some loose, grainy rock on rounded feet before a horizontal shelf without good pro. Follow the obvious hand crack up and go right as it does. If you place just before the crack cuts right, make sure to extend long to avoid drag! Being able to hear and be heard by your belayer may be hard at the anchor.

Seems like a series of cruxes exist. Fairly sustained before the very final low angle section. Likely harder than meets the eye. But if you know J Tree, that's nothing new, right?

Location

Pass the east face climbs on your left. Beanie Babies can be found on the west corner nearly opposite the listed climbs. Scramble up a few boulders to begin.

Descend the south as per east face climbs.

Protection

Pro to 2". Medium gear for the crack anchor.
