Description:
Popular route facing the lot and behind a campsite. Go straight up crack that soon slants to the right along undercling flake to just above the big black spot. Take the vertical branch of crack that goes straight up, which will peter out near the top to make for the final namesake crux. If you have to use the bolted rap station to set up an anchor, MAKE SURE YOU SET A DIRECTIONAL IN THE HORIZONTAL CRACK DIRECTLY ABOVE TOPOUT (BEWARE OF DEATH BELAY)!!! Best not to use the rap bolts to belay, but instead set a gear anchor at topout spot and belay directly above the vertical petered out crack, then afterward walk over to the bolted rap station to rap down. This will free up the rap station for use by other parties to descend.Descent Options:
Walk to climber's right to obvious bolted belay station and rap down.

The top is pretty scary for a beginning leader.

What a way to start the day
Great start to the day. This climb was literally in our campsite. I love JTree.
Do NOT use the rapp anchors - your second will take a nasty swing if they fall on the crux (near the top).
