Ascent Notes for: Dog Day Afternoon - 5.10b Average Rating : 3.79/5

Cold and windy in this corridor.

Part of a 10 route day with Zach. Great weather, no other climbers present all day at any location we climbed. Nice north facing arete (but not great or classic by any means). We did not take any gear up it. The run out part is much easier than the start I thought.

One of the coolest face and arete climbs in JTree. BRING GEAR. The guidebook doesnt doesn't mention it, but it is mandatory, unless you like R/X routes.

Powerful from the start! Lotsa rest when you need it. Was amazed by how well it was bolted (am I really in J-tree?)... except for before the last bolt. But, as pointed out before, bring something to stick in the horizontal if you're not comfy at the grade... I had a forgotten #1C3 on the back of my harness, and I was happy I did.

Definitely bring something for the horizontal. I went through the chimney to the right, clipped the anchors, downclimbed the chimney and went up the final slab.

Onsight on the follow.

Great climb. Just enough bolts to make it go. Gotta get used to the run-out.

otherwise the top moves are definitely R.

There are definitely nesting raptors still there -- do grit roof instead.
