We set up 3 sling rap stations to descend into gully to the left. The ledge from which to start Jamel Bahr can be accessed directly from the shelf below via a beautiful 30m 5.8 hand crack, led by Kyle Duba (belayed by Kyle Elmquist), which he named the “Incredible Camel Crack.” From the top of ICC, go left, horizontally, 100 feet, to the left side of the black/orange blocks, to scramble up the first 5th class pitch of Jamel Bahr
