Description

This is really a variation of Jail Bound.

Climb up the main crack splitting the face between Jailbreak and Cellbound. At the junction where the cracks split, take the right-hand version in the right facing corner crack.

At the top of the crack, step back to the left and milk the low angle face moves up to the right side of the horizontal break (good protection option) then up the final arete to the summit.

Nice moves, with, some crack and fun face climbing up fairly solid features.

Location

This is really a variation of Jail Bound. Take the split in the crack to the right, just left of Cellbound.

Descend by down climbing from the belay ledge below the summit arete and scrambling/walking down the ramps and around the corner back to the base of the face.
