Jungle of Stone

This is a great climb on the far left side of Sleeping Beauty. To locate the start, hike the trail along the base to a series of vegetated ledges on the left side. You will scramble back up and to the right to the start of the climb. Look for a right-facing corner with a nice, hand crack that leads to a small bulge/roof with a single bolt at the start. This is Jungle of Stone. To the right of this corner is a dark black streak on a slab with bolts (

Black Rain

10b).

Start right behind a large tree at the base of a slabby ledge. Clip a bolt, work up into the corner, get good pro and handjams and pull over the roof (crux). Somewhat insecure climbing and sparse pro lead slightly up and left to a good stance. Traverse up and right past a small tree and onto the slab, clip the remaining 3 bolts of

Black Rain

and finish at the 2 bolt anchor shared with

.

Rappel 120' back to the base.

Gear to 3" plus 4 QDs for bolts. Double red and yellow Camalots are useful.
