Description:
Just up the hill and left of Tales From The Riverbank is a NE face capped by a very steep yellow W facing wall w/ concentric curved lines.P1) Start on the far right, climb the slab/arete to a sloping block. Mount the block and continue up and left, past the steep wall, to the ledge with a bush. (14)
P2) Start directly above the bush, and climb up past the 3 bolts.
Edit: Apparently pitch 2, as described here, is actually an ungraded climb of unknown name. Possibly harder than 17, but IMO not by much. The actual 2nd pitch to JUCB is to continue further left, to the end of the ledge, then up the arete past 2 bolts.

Ascent Note
Did For Your Thighs Only for the first pitch. 2nd pitch=short, but awesome! Everything from some incredible pocket pulling to balancy smearing (it IS Castle Hill after all...). I would give the 1st pitch any stars (regardless of which variation), but the 2nd pitch definitely deserves at least 1!
