A topo by John Knight can be found under the 'Y-crack area'

Getting There 

Head up to the base of P-wall and keep going up the left side. You will soon reach Garden Wall. Scooch along the base going away from P-wall. Jamcrack Wall will follow on your right. You will be on the uphill side and very close to Midnight Spire.
