Climbing Area Index / Humphrey's Ledge / Lost & Found (5.10c)
Directions:  Hike left along the cliff past Robinson Crusoe. As the trail goes uphill to Wanderlust take a left on a separate trail. The first route you come to is Easy As Pudding Pie. Walk downhill and look for an obvious blocky buttress which is the start to Yellowjacket. The climb starts 15' left of Put My Foot Where?
Description: 6 bolts and a 2-bolt anchor provide well protected climbing on good rock.
    Pitch 1: Make powerful bouldery moves up to the first bolt then follow a quartzite dike to a large flake (#2 Camalot). Make tricky moves over the next bulge to a rest at mid height. Continue trending right on a steep ramp to the crux moves up and over the final headwall. Small cams are helpful after pulling over the final bulge. Finish up the slab on nice holds to a two bolt anchor. 90'

Gear: Bring draws, a (#2 or #3) Camelot, assorted small cams for the finish.
Descent: rappel the route
History:  April 14,2010 - Chris Graham and Bob Ahearn
