Description:
A fun upper pitch just to the left of Open Book. Get up to the big ramp left of "Traitor Horn" via Coffin Nail or first two pitches of Jensen's Jaunt. Belay left of the "Traitor Horn" to experience the thin ledge traverse, or right of the "Traitor Horn" (with a little 5.8 move) so belayer can maintain eye contact with the leader going up the dihedral crack to pull the roof and over onto the real horn. Rejoins last pitch of Jensen's Jaunt to the topDescent Options:
walkoff via friction descent

Tahquitz Classic!! Must Do!
Start out with Jenson's Jaunt, a sick 5.6 hand crack. We linked first and second pitches (most of the first pitch is 4th class and easy 5th class and can be free-soloed). Third pitch is a short traverse with a few easy 5.8 moves over a well featured face around the traitor horn. Fourth pitch is an absolutely amazing and super exposed sequence of 5.8 moves up and over a tricky roof and to the horn. 4th pitch is a bit run-out but easy 5th class.
