Description:

From the top of Jello Tower step across to the face and climb straight up, as the name implies. SO FUN I could kick myself for waiting so long to do it. Walk off (bring shoes)

5 out of 5 stars super fun

Awesome route after a bit of a head rush coming up the south face of Jello Tower. Great practice for wondering, thoughtful alpine routes. A 60 meter rope will get you from Jello Tower to the top, with about 10 feet to spare.

5 out of 5 stars Super Classic

Fun route. Be ready for a few slightly heady moves just above jello tower. Bring shoes for the walk-off. I took 3 people up for their first multi-pitch climb and they all had a blast. Great for new leaders!!

Fun route. We did it in 3 pitches, setting a belay about 40-50 feet above Jello Tower, so I could communicate with Tom while he did the step-over. There was a nice ledge about 3 feet wide with a large crack to set up an anchor.
