| This route was named in honor of my father, Alexander Jones Jr., who won a Silver Star for heroism as a member of the Tenth Mountain Division in WWII in the Italian campaign. They captured over a dozen German officers on a night patrol without firing a single shot.
After Lovelace (aka Fang Wall) I always thought this was the best route I put up on the East Temple (i.e. better than Freezer Burn, Cowboy Bob's, and Uncertain Fates). Some folks have not enjoyed it, which makes me think they got lost on the route.
Who knows. But I recall the quality as well above average. Dig up my original topo in the Park archives to get the best information. |
