Description

Jonny Rotten turned out to be a fine route that climbed much better than it appeared from the ground. Boulder a way up for the first clip and then launch into a dynamic sequence moving past the third clip. There is a momentary encounter that seems to be sending the climber into the bird droppings coming from an overlap crack, but the FA team nicely avoided the dung, left the birds alone, and set up a nice move getting established under the roof at 40 ft. Chase the overlaps above for some continuous, well protected climbing. There is a final crux just below the anchor - just don't get seduced into going the wrong way. JR is certainly the best route on the crag and well worth crossing the creek. An added benefit is being away from the sight and sound of the road. Good job by the FA team.

Location

This is the furthest right of three bolted routes.

Protection

About a dozen (11) draws and something for the double bolt anchor at the top.
