Ascent Notes for: Apron Jam - 5.9 Average Rating : 4.00/5

I led this (with a couple hangs) and enjoyed it. It's basically a 5 inch thick flake that lays on the rock but is separated from the cliff by up to 5 inches of space. Because the apron leans over, you can layback up this massive flake without too much strain. It does go on for a good 60 to 80 feet though, so your arms get tired. I had a 2 big bro and used that low down. I also had a 4 and a 5 camalot and walked those up with me. You can stop to rest a little by jamming your left foot and ankle in the crack, but it's not too secure. Up higher, the crack gets narrower. It's a lovely climb, but with the recent rockfall, which happened a month after we were there, it might be unwise to do. We didn't here a single thing fall in 2 days of climbing at the apron from the grack to son of sam...still, there are safer cliffs. It's a shame though, as there are so many nice climbs there. I heard one geologist say that later in the year (october) when the rains and freezing happen that rockfall is more likely...but I'm no expert

I led this with a variety of jamming and lie backing. We were making our way up to Mr. Natural.

this one was pretty good, with wide jams on the start, but being in a rock fall zone, I'll never go back and do it
