3 out of 5 stars Nice route

Linked both pitches with a 70m rope & conserved gear, saving my BD #3 & #4 and a #1 for the belay anchor at the very top. This route seemed alot easier than other 10bs I've led at JT - but maybe the type of climbing at the crux just suits me more. After belaying up my second, we walked to climber's left about 25 feet to a water groove and built a TR anchor for Morning Thunder in a horizontal crack. The descent: far to climber's left is a boulder with rap-slings underneath. One can then traverse far to climber's left, go around a big boulder and down-climb to the top of Dangling Woo Li / Book of Changes, and use those rap anchors.

3 out of 5 stars Sweet

Really a 2 part climb. Not sure about Vogel's 5 stars... a 60m almost got me to the top. Protects fairly well. Save a #3 or #4 camalot for the top low angle 5.7ish fist section unless you want to run it out.
