Description

Begin by standing on a ledge built into the hillside with logs and rocks. Enjoy the bouldery start of Legal Eagle. Pull on small pockets and crimps for three bolts and head out right to a savior pinch.

Get your court in order and get yourself set up for a nice juggy rest before taking on a steep crux with tiny holds that show no mercy until you reach an even steeper roof with jugs. After you navigate this roofy obstruction of justice, be prepared to endure a short stint of hard time to the anchors for two more bolts.

For some climbers this might route might be life changing. For others it will be a life sentence. Be prepared to have the book thrown at you. This is not a justice of the peace who will let you off easy. GET ON IT AND GET JUDGED!

Location

5th route from the far left hand side of the Court House Wall on the big, blonde buttress. Shares same start as Legal Eagle but heads right after bolt three.

Protection

8 bolts and open anchors.
