About this place

Intersection Rock has many classic routes- I found right ski track and overhang bypass to be 2 of my favorite routes in j tree.
Start left of the flake in a crack, there are several different options for the first pitch- we did this climb twice and took 2 different cracks up. Belay just under the overhang. Traverse out right and follow the good hand crack around the overhang, pull yourself up on to the ledge then climb the slabby face to the bolts.
Rap with one rope back to the starting ledge of the climb- Right Ski Track.
