Jamais Vu

Description

This climbs the major cleft in the middle of the South face and is suited for offwidth/chimney lovers. A decent route of the wider variety and the literal opposite of 'Deja Vu'.

P1: (5.9, 115') Climb up easy ledges to reach the chute with dual cracks, just above the schist band. Stem up this fun part to the top of the flake on the right. Then stem over left into the flared chimney with a fist crack in the back. Belay at a huge ledge with two bolts on the right side.

P2: (5.8, 100) Continue up the semi-easy chimney with no pro (unless you bring some XL cams). Just when the chimney pinches down and forces you to climb outside the crack, build a nest of small gear to protect the brief crux. Much easy chimney takes you to the top. Belay from bolts.

Rappel down Raisins or Deja Vu.

Location

Center of South face, just right of 'Raisins in the Sun'.

Protection

Rack from green C3 to #4. Double up on fingers and hands
