Description
Stand on top of a boulder to clip the first bolt, then climb out the roof somewhat diagonally on good holds to a tough lip encounter, followed by a good rest. Quest up a little higher to clip a bolt, followed by a few hard moves to an undercling. Make a difficult clip, then pull a tough sequence to another good rest. Climb up the crack (doubles in .4 and .5 will work), then finish on the fun (though hollow) jug flake up high.
CAUTION: if you fall in the 30 feet following the crux sequence, you may impale yourself on an aspen tree. It's quite a bit easier there, but the rock is a little hollow, so be careful.
Apparently this is an old Abel Jones route. Not the best 12 at the Peaks, but a good one to do if you're running out of climbs in the grade range. The starting sequence is worth it on its own.
