Description:
From the top of Jello Tower step across to the face and climb straight up, as the name implies. SO FUN I could kick myself for waiting so long to do it. Walk off (bring shoes)

Great classic route
Fun route for sure. Pitch 1 is up the obvious right-facing corner between Jell-O Tower and the main wall. Some books describe it as a chimney - but it's more on the face with some stemming moves really. Bolted anchor on top of Jell-O Tower. Pitch 2 steps across from the tower to the main wall, and continues up. Plenty of belay options exist - the big alcove with an old bolt is best (the bolt however, is not the best). From there, the 3rd pitch is short and easy to the top - walk-off to the right on an obvious trail.

super fun
Awesome route after a bit of a head rush coming up the south face of Jello Tower. Great practice for wondering, thoughtful alpine routes. A 60 meter rope will get you from Jello Tower to the top, with about 10 feet to spare.

Super Classic
Fun route. Be ready for a few slightly heady moves just above jello tower. Bring shoes for the walk-off. I took 3 people up for their first multi-pitch climb and they all had a blast. Great for new leaders!!
