Description:
1.5m left of"Gladwrap", the deep and seeping chimney, is BJM, a crack that starts off as a body jam and ends as a finger crack. Protect through the off width with the biggest gear you have but be prepared to still make committing moves above your gear.(crux) then easier jamming to the short roof. Step left at the roof and continue up the jagged finger crack to finish. Climbing straight through the roof crack adds a grade. Sustained and interesting climbing all the way.

it's not often I get to walk the #5 cam. If I'd had a #6, I could have used that too. this is a really nice line with good rock, good jams and good pro. I would recommend it.

A really good route, with some interesting variety. gets a bit strenuous after a while. Take a real good rest before takling the roof.
