Description
Jericho Wall is a fun/obscure moderate grade V in the shade. Mellow nailing (95% beaking), Bolted anchors, and a big ledge on P4 and P9 make it a good candidate to do in summer without a portaledge. You rappel the route to descend.
The 2nd ascent party cleaned the majority of the loose blocks, but this route is still fresh and should be treated as so.
