he made a promise to everyone that his ass would be tanner than our faces by the end of the trip, and he kept his word.

A 70m makes it from the top of the chimney to the ground with room to spare.

Optional rap route. From the top of the Sister Squeeze flake/pillar you can rap off to the right and hit the ground with one 60m rope. This seemed to be a cleaner rap option then going off the belay anchors on top of P2.

Beta: You can see the old star-drive bolts and the drilled pin. The drilled pin seemed "good" by desert standards and is clippable from the stance. It is the best bolt on the pitch, and it protects the crux move. The rest of them seemed only good for holding a quick draw.

Brad, Travis and John on the summit.

Crack has formed next to crux crack on Jah Man sometime between Jan. '21 and Jan. '24.
