Description

Haitian Fight Song - immediately noticed when you're standing beneath the overhung face.Strong grippy moves to the top. A string of V3 moves enters a sloper rail and blank section - the climber’s commitment, flexibility and bag of tricks will make this section feel very different in difficulty person to person or even day to day. A rush!This Low Sit Start was sent by John Lozano but later the holds broke off. RIP. You can see where they used to be. :( Now, sit start from layback on the crack - this should accommodate nearly any height just fine.Cue up there namesake song and post a vid of how you managed the crux! youtube.com/watch?v=N3xfIB3…

Location

Haitian Fight Song runs up the left corner of the East facing wall. 3 obvious shelves.Park at LMS and head down to the crag. Follow the wall to the south for 270 yds and pass a talus slope with vines. Continue and notice the rock size increasing and features showing up. Follow the animal trails to a cave overhang and a ramp that leads to Thelonious Monk in 5’ and then 10’ south of that rock you will see The Jazz Workshop founder, Charles Mingus.A more direct approach is to park at LMS and walk downhill to where the next guardrail starts. Count 7 posts and jump the rail. There should be a drainage culvert there. Scramble downhill and you should end up in the viney talus slope or just south of it. Continue south a few minutes and you will find The Jazz Workshop.On either approach if you look east to the lake you will see a cove with a sandbar extending from its northern shore. If that northern shore is south of you, you are north of Mingus. If it is north of you you are south of Mingus. If it is directly even with you and mount scott you’re right there.
