Jason's Argonaut

This route is the middle of the three at Whale's Tail. Climb up easy ledges to the first clip. Right after the second bolt is the crux, smear and shift your weight and body (with your right hand in a nice undercling) over to the left with a crimper for your hand. This is a long reach. After this move, cruise over 5.7/.8 terrain to the two bolt anchors. This route seems soft for the grade and easier than the route to the right.

Whale's Tail is located southwest-ish of the lakes and, if coming from the parking lot near US 24, is reached before the Whale Wall. This is the middle route.

7 quickdraws and a two bolt anchor w/ rap rings.
