jbclimbs's Logbook (5 ascents)

And quite heady for it's rating. this sweet pitch follows a dyke to the Miss Siagon Belay and is protectable if you don't mind running it out. Not for 5.6 leaders at all!

A perfect finish to Miss Saigon, don't let the easy climbing leading to the head wall fool you. The crux to this a sweet climb, both heady and technical for it's level. Rappel with 2 60 meter ropes to ground (don't try to walk across the slabs to Pine tree with out protection.)

I always have a great time on this mixed route. There are two crux moves one technical and one heady. The friction move at the first bolt, is the tecnical crux and the mantel move just before the belay is the heady crux. This trip I seconded but have lead it many times.

This is another great hardly climbed climb in the whites. If your willing to do a little route finding you'll be pleasently surprise by the prettiest 5.5 crack on P5. We did this route with twin 60s, in three pitches Combining P1 and P2, doing P3 singularly because of rope drag. Definately stay left on the head wall, but not to left as the areate is loose too. Some nice moves will go at 7+ over the head wall. P4 and P5 brought us through the classic hand jambs. I'd have belayed at the base of the crack had I place the pro so I didn't have as much drag. We jumping off at the end of the 5.5 crack and repelled from the rap slings way to left. 2 raps from there got us to the ground.

The flake at the top of the second pitch makes this climb a jem!
