Local knowledge counts for a lot in climbing, so when Utah hard man and prolific new router Jay Smith recommended 'Fine Jade' (5.11a) to the Smiley's, they knew that they just had to climb it. With perfect splitter cracks on the first two pitches and superb face climbing above, 'Fine Jade' more than lives up to its name. The approach is short, the line stunning and the climbing encapsulates all that is best about Utah's desert towers. This was Janelle and Mark's first route back after a Winter off from climbing and after watching this video, it's hard to imagine a more perfect way for them to have kicked off their season.

So goofy, I love it! It is definitely on my list of climbs to do now!
That looks so much fun :)
Wow, nice to see Jay Smith in the opener! I remember you from South Lake Tahoe in the late 70's before you went to Patagonia.
good old carl I never did like you and neither does jay mind your own carl
fingercrack on P2 looks so good
4:42 Shots fired at Salathé headwall?
Aww Jay doesn't like the wide?
I second the motion to make this a "50 Classic Climb". I've not climbed it but it looks another level of classic (and difficulty) beyond Jaw Man, which i have climbed.
I also nominate "The Vampire" on Tahquitz Rock to replace "Traveler Buttress" on Lover's Leap. In the first place, Tahquitz Rock is historically significant, and secondly ,The Vampire is a trilling route. Traveler Buttress has about 50' of decent climbing in the whole route, a distinct disappointment.
That's Jah Man!
Thrilling! More coffee!
No, dick face, "Fifty Classic Climbs" isn't going to be rewritten to include all your favorite "radicool" climbs that have nothing going for them except for a bit of technical difficulty. The authors considered a ton more than YDS when putting their list together. You are free to write your own book.
😂😂😂 When Crawford & Smith were on the FA you know the rating is honest & the route will be true
mark doesn't know but she is doing the whole bunch funny
Two ropes? Interesting.
they are called twin ropes. Allows you to do double rope raps on multipitch with pitches longer than half your rope. They are also thinner so you aren't carrying the weight of two full sized ropes up but you still have a combined strength in both ropes that is enough to take falls.
Mission impossible 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
