Peter_Puget Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Any beta? Do I need anything smaller than a #3. Heard this route is now fairly popular after the myths about the first few ascents have proven to be baseless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dru Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I thought there were 4 or 5 of them. There's definitely one in Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 The crux is the layback 1/2way up the overhanging offwidth isn't so bad actually. I used a 4.5 to protect the moves and did a double foot stack, let go, and swung upsidedown to grab the jug, kicked my legs out and mantled on up. That sounds scary on lead, but it aint cuz you have a honking 4.5 cam above your head the whole time. Me on the 10d layback crux Me entering the wideness Good luck and have fun. It's hands down the most fun I've EVER had on a single pitch rock lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialed Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 That was my favorite route at J-Tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyree Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 (edited) I climed it this spting, it is sooo sick. Mike is right the layback is the crux, all you need to protect the travese is a 4 and mabey a 3.5. The stem to the roof is SICk!!! I didnt do the fot stack as explained by Mike, I just stemmed like I was doing the splits then pull up on an arm bar to some jugs. You dont need the 4.5 if you trust the shady bolt but beware of rope drag moving your piece! I just clipped the bolt, Its a hell of a pendulum if the second falls Edited November 10, 2005 by tyree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
