Just after pulling the really fun jugs on the gentle overhang before the anchor. The route was dripping water but still great fun!

[Hide Comment] Felt a little hard for 5.9, no? Great route, though. Any chance rap rings will be added? The walk off is short but still a little annoying given the state of trails in the area. Sep 8, 2013

[Hide Comment] A live tree is leaning over and blocking the start of Jitters. I posted a photo above. Maybe someone could put in a cam or pin and pull it back to vertical with a rope. I think that would be better than cutting it off. Jul 30, 2022
