Career Ender

March 7, 2010: Justin Jaeger on Career Ender in The Amphitheater, Flagstaff Mountain. Although Mongolian Cosmonaut, Overhanging Hand Traverse, Gill Direct and Sandpaper Ledge get all the attention and traffic on the front side of the Amphitheater, there is another nice problem that gets almost no traffic. JJ made the topout more complicated than necessary on this moist morning, but who am I to tell him? The name for this one scares most folks away, but the real nightmare in this area is Jonathan Thesenga's problem Deathfuck 5000 that starts and climbs straight up a few feet to the left.
