  Another comment from an OG climber. One of the best crack climbs I've done anywhere, sustained thin fingers to medium hands, wonderful friction on the granite face and it eats up trad pro. I don't recall using cams at all. Of course, not everybody had a ton of cams in those days lol. But the nut & small hex placements were absolutely bombproof. I even slung that tree in the middle; it was solid even then. Great vid of a great climb.👍 [edit] Glad I found your youtube channel. I've bookmarked it-I'm kinda old school in that I don't subscribe, sorry. But I appreciate that you put up superb moderate to easy climbs, not just the 10's & above. There's a certain snobbery that says if it's not at least 5.10, it can't be a 5 star climb. I've done 'way too many 5 star moderates at 5.8 & under to believe that. Even if they weren't rated that highly in the guidebook.

  Wow, you climbed lower section (before the tree) so easy. I started doing lie back since the crack seemed to be too thin and did not have good time there at all.

  Probably one of the best 8's in J-Tree. Great locks, small edges most of the way for your feet except the last few feet, and bomber pro the whole way. I'd be suspicious of the (-) rating. It might be only a couple of moves at the top, but they're pretty interesting. OK, so I'm an ancient climber. When we first did this, you had to reach below the top of the pinnacle to get some pro for an anchor-no bolts. And the descent was roughly a 5.6 downclimb. This is much more civilized...👍

  Thanks for the history lesson old man! I kid, but I love the insight from the OG climbers. I had no clue how to build a gear anchor here, or maybe I didnt check. Thanks for the lore none the less!

  I very much appreciate you sharing this climbing experience. I did this climb 45 years ago in the freezing, cold rain. It was a sudden cloud burst. I couldn't believe how water much came down the track, down my arms and across my chest. By the time I reached the top the rain had stopped. I do recall setting up a belay in the same spot as you. We didn't have camming devices back then. I think ended up using a couple large hex nuts in opposition to each other and a large sling around part of the rock. I think your anchor placement up top is fine, but I would suggest using your slings in a way that better equalizes the static load. Across the way is a climb I believe called Cyclops. You might try that sometime. Good job. Stay safe.

  As an old trad climber who's done Double Cross a few times, It's still one of the best crack climbs. I especially like that you didn't use all cams. Not so many younger climbers use Hexes for hand & fist cracks anymore, but properly placed, especially when the crack flares going up, they can be more solid than cams. 👍😊 [edit] And you don't have to climb 5.10 or harder to have a great climb.

  On your simul rappel it’s best practice to tether both climbers together. In the scenario you are not in sync, simul rappelling without a tether can be catastrophic. Have fun and be safe!

  A strong anchor is considered 23 KN or more. If you believe that those red and yellow cams in your anchor are legit in good quality rock you can just do a two piece anchor with a quad. You’ll get a self equalizing anchor and it’s more efficient. Cheers and happy climbing.
