Double Jeopardy

About

Double Jeopardy is a trad rock climbing route located in the Grand Junction area of Colorado’s Western Slope, specifically just left of the start of the St. Patrick's Day Massacre route. The climb consists of two short, quality cracks separated by a large ledge, totaling approximately 60 feet. The route begins with a 7-foot pod featuring a 0.75-inch crack, followed by a small roof leading to a ledge. From there, climbers ascend a splitter crack with tight hands-to-hands to a two-bolt anchor. The route was first ascended by KC Baum and Tom Archibeque in January 1990. GPS coordinates are 39.05649, -108.66603. Parking is available on site, and pets are permitted. The difficulty is classified as difficult, though a more direct line up the left side of the block is rated around 5.10-. Recommended protection includes #0.5 and 0.75 Camalots for the first half and 1s and 2s for the second half.
