4 out of 5 stars Dolphin

One of the better 5.7's at Jtree and my preferred warm up for Bird of Fire. Perfect 20' finish to teach chicken wing technique to someone. With Alfred from CA. This wall gets a lot more am sun by the time May rolls around, but the Dolphin shades itself nicely. The upper section protects adequately with one C4 #5. With Alfred from CA.

4 out of 5 stars Winded Finish

Solid crack leading to that "chimney thing". Long stretch from last pro to finish inside that "chimney thing" up top. Recommend staying outside and not getting in too far. Catch your breath and watch out for those sharp edges while wedging.
A lot of fun...particularly after topping out and reflecting. My opinion, for what its worth, the climb is rated easier than it actually climbs. An in-experienced chimney climber could be caught off guard 2/3 way up.

3 out of 5 stars Miserable f*cking chimney!

My intro to terrible chimneys! Loved the climb up until that part. Then, pow! Not sure why this is 5.7, felt a lot harder to me. #6 cam pretty much required I think!

4 out of 5 stars My first off-width

This was my first climb at JT, and I didn't want to do it. My brother led it halfway until he decided leaving the #4 Camalot behind wasn't so smart and came down. Then he wouldn't go back up. Of course, it turned out to be a great introduction to the kind of holdless wide cracks we don't see in Wisconsin, and I felt great after leading it.

3 out of 5 stars Dolphin

How did Long come up with this name? A good route, atypical for the grade.
