Jazz Beat of the Nun's Groove, 5.10a

3rd Pitch- 65m- 5.8/ We divided the route up differently than in the guide book and believe our sequence makes for more comfortable belays on fixed gear despite a bit of rope drag. We did this pitch with a 70m rope. Therefore, if trying to reach the same belay as we did with a 60m, keep that in mind. Make a 5.8 move up and over a flake and into the groove at a lesser grade. Follow it up and right into a left facing corner/chimney. Maneuver the large loose blocks up and right at the top of this feature to access a right facing corner. Down climb a bit to access the corner and then climb up to a decent ledge with a fixed belay (Rejection of Faith).

Yes, I love how the french vanilla breaks up the vertical grays of the rock!
