Jazz Beat of the Nun's Groove, 5.10a

Jazz Beat of the Nun's Groove, 5.10a

4th Pitch- 30m- 5.8/ This pitch was not described well in the guide book. Enter the chimney to your left and start stemming up the east side of it at a point where you can look up and see a crack and some decent foot ledges on the outer side. The fixed belay is hidden from view, so it is difficult to trust the route at this juncture, but it clears up as you stem up a bit. Protect the stemming with a couple of small pieces in the crack on the outer wall, then move to the main wall to locate the fixed belay. We combined this section of pitch four with the fifth pitch but I do not advise such. A 70m was not long enough and the traversing is severe cutting off communication and producing rope drag.
