B-1 

Fun beginner solo.
Jack Osbourne climbed it on TV! What a joke!

good pro placement practice climb and hand jamming practice climb if you ignore the face. Only problematic thing for a beginner is the slab traverse 15' left from the top when breaking down the belay to get to the walkoff.

Finish directly up through/between the cap rocks (instead of traversing left) for a couple of fun moves of bombay squeeze. (That finish is not recommended if you are TRing, you'll want your rope below the caprock in that case). Probably the best of the "B" cracks.

I thought this was at least 5.1c.... Mid to top end of the 5.1 scale for sure. Be safe out there.

Russ, not everone has your esteemed 5.6 onsight ability, so leave the comments for the >5.4 community to us regular folk!

How hard can 5.1b?

Definately suggested for first time climbers! This is a fun super easy route with huge hands! Perfect for beginning trad leaders too! Gotta beat the crowds though.

haha this was so nice to climb after Profundity. It's a really good place to practice building TP anchors.

A decent climb for a rank beginner. Used it teaching my 10 year old son how to jam.

Good for the grade.

I've never climbed a "5.1" route, but I would call it harder than the easiest incidental soloing I've done, so I'd call it a 5.3.

Very good route for beginners and kids. Would be a good route to learn placing gear on lead for the unexperienced.

For people looking for an easy first trad lead at JT, Shardik at Bear Island might be a better choice. Beginners might not want to attempt this without a rack containing doubles of larger cams.
