Jimmy the Geek, 5.9, 2 Pitches

  • Jimmy the Geek – 5.9 – 2 Pitches/
  • Hard to identify the start because the “painted” pins referenced by Todd has mostly warn off. It is easy to get started on the Freak Show versus Jimmy the Geek, but also easy to correct yourself and get over right on the direct line of pins that lead to the right handed crack/flake. This is one of those routes that is defined by one move in each pitch. The 1st pitch is the longest (100’)(photo) and presents you with a 5.11 slab move about midway up on loose footing. Six pins leads you to a small crack/flake on your left that you can place a small stopper in or two. I chose to run the route out on nice sized varnish holds straight up to the anchor. The 2nd pitch is short (40’) and with a sweet move or two as you pull a slightly overhanging section on solid varnish edges. Head for the shared anchor with Pygmy Alien in the hole. Double ropes will get you to the ground. Jimmy the Geek, Circus Wall, Island in the Sky, Snow Canyon, June, 2007
