Pinched Rib
Decent short pitch with a short one-move finger lock or layback crux. Can set top rope with larger gear. Climb down to the right for descent, past tree. With Stacy.

Kind of a one move wonder route. Crux is the only 5.10 spot

Fun, varied route.
Easy climbing with gear in two horizontals to straight forward bolted face climbing, to the crux rib/thin crack. Wish it was longer. One fall at crux. Walk off was a little scary but probably safe by JTree standards.
