Description False Alarm Jam is on the east side of Rainy Wednesday Tower. Climb up ledges to the obvious, steep crack. Jam the crack with good jams to get over up to a nice ledge. Ascend the final face to the top.
Protection Standard rack with some large stuff. Very well-protected.

| False Alarm Jam is a nice and long intermediate climb. Setting a TR on Rainy Wed Tower can be dicey. Access is found on the West side of the tower. |

| I hear you Andy, I'm a relatively new leader and I led this back in the spring. I felt it was very committing but just had to tell myself that I can climb 5.7 on top-rope no problem. I just ran-out the crux, which probably wasn't the best idea either. I look forward to getting back on it. Doesn't the book rate this as 5.6? |

| Yeah, the book does rate this at 5.6. The problem for me was that it was my last climb of the day and I was fairly exhausted. Rich, how do you suppose this is a PG13 rated climb? It protects well up to the crux, through the crux and after... |
