Probably one of the best 8's in J-Tree. Great locks, small edges most of the way for your feet except the last few feet, and bomber pro the whole way. I'd be suspicious of the (-) rating. It might be only a couple of moves at the top, but they're pretty interesting. OK, so I'm an ancient climber. When we first did this, you had to reach below the top of the pinnacle to get some pro for an anchor-no bolts. And the descent was roughly a 5.6 downclimb. This is much more civilized...👍
Thanks for the history lesson old man! I kid, but I love the insight from the OG climbers. I had no clue how to build a gear anchor here, or maybe I didnt check. Thanks for the lore none the less!
I remember doing this climb back in the late 80's....Great route, lots of fun!
Easy clean bro, love that Tommy came to help in the beginning
I remember this climb being pretty tough for a 5.8, but you made it look way easier. Good job, and nice hex catch too!
I see you showing off throwing and catching that blue hex
You really know how to climb Jack! Fantastic adventure man you are really skilled
