Description
Japan Club has three distinct sections: flared fingers, flared hands, and a lieback. The opening flared finger portion is thin and balancy, but will accept reasonable pro in the form of stoppers and small cams. After overcoming the thin crux, enjoy a short section of good flared hands (in both main crack and side crack) before the crack peters out. Good foot cams move you into position to grasp the semi-solid lieback and high step on decent feet to glory.
Location
Located 40 yards to the right of
Wild Thing
. We walked off by climbing almost to the top of the crag and traversing climber's left, eventually downclimbing as per
Walking Up to Zion
and
Wild Thing
.
Protection
Set of stoppers, small cams. A BD #4 can be placed in the roof next to main crack if the small pro doesn't ease your mind.
