    A top quality link up between Whale Back and Fully Jingus! Loved figuring out the intricacies of my foot beta for the top crux and holding on as hard as I could. Considering the bottom of Whale back compared to the bottom of Jingus is much harder before linking into the same top crux, I personally feel like it deserves a low end 14a grade.

    Combines two of the best routes into a amazing route. Took 2 days of trying. Team send with Mike Doyle today. Grade wise probably solid 13d but time will tell.

    This is hands down one of the best lines I've done at Acephale...Spectacular!!! I added a new Wave glue-in bolt to facilitate the linkup...still be prepared for an exciting runout.

    A somewhat logical link up. Climb Whaleback but instead of cutting left to the Whaleback, go straight up to join the crux of Fully Jingus. I considered adding a bolt but it didn't feel right adding bolts to facilitate linkups so I ran it out.
