Fun, juggy crack.
Led it twice during my most recent trip to JTree, fun both times.

Finally led this route, which I have followed 3 or 4 times over the years. I was happy to find I cruised it with no problems. Fun route, fully G-rated. Someone had recently added a bolted anchor right at the route end. Since there is gear placements, this will probably not remain for long. Besides, the bolters cheapened out by using only one quicklink. Considering how many gumby's will be TR'ing on that thing, I would suggest backing it up, or using the existing bolted anchors for Tender Flakes of Wrath just to the rear and west of the route....
