A couple bouldery moves off the deck lead to a long face with multiple cruxes and great sustained climbing at the grade. This one builds the pump and keeps it coming! Watch out for some potentially loose flakes.

3rd bolted line on the main section of High Life Wall with thin pocket bulge below second bolt.

The crux is moving past the third bolt.  Small right hand crimp (a bit of a crank to reach located at about one-o'clock); slap the arete with your left and find the key left foot placement to finish the move.  I enjoyed this route!  Fun, with cool balance moves on the bottom section.  The upper section has buckets.

Maybe the best route on this section of the wall; a thin section down low leads to pockets and jugs up higher.  Great route that is not to be missed.

Tough moves on steep, strange rock leads to difficult,thin and technical moves. Guide book has always shown this as 12a but I think it is much harder than High Life or even Never Bitter. Really cool climb that doesn't get enough attention.

Fun climbing that gets steeper as you climb.  Thin, cruxy section fairly low leads to a mounting pump.

This is certainly one of the most fun climbs of the grade at Jacks.  It starts with an excellent 5.11- section that moves into a featured flake where you can rest for as long as you want.  The bolts fork above this, The High Life is the center line.  Climb through the roof and finish on some 5.10 that feels pretty desperate if you're pumped.

Another great High Life wall moderate that is similar to the other two routes on this wall with an additional "mini-tower" feature to finish the route on.  Not really a crux, just good, fun, sustained casual movement.

The same start as "The High Life" then traverses right at the 6th bolt. 9 bolts

Okay route with some thin moves. Climb up to a small broken roof.

I found the crux to be clipping and passing the second bolt.  Nice climbing for the first 40 feet or so.  Then, well, not as compelling.

This route was in the book but not on mountainproject and I haven't climbed it yet but look forward to it. I gave it a 2 star just to be fair and will adjust the rating later.

 Deidre Burton and Jim Steagall's Climbing book recommends stick clipping 1st bolt.

Pull the standard overhung Jack's roof start to pull onto the face, then make a tricky move to a good hold and the second bolt.  Continue up with a few difficult sections to a few final hard moves pulling the last roof below the anchors.  Could be a bit soft for the 12a grade.

chossy. Climb up to the small right facing corner.

One crux move down low leads to excellent sustained climbing on excellent rock and good movement.  Well worth the extra little hike.

Climb the face and finish right of the roof.

Excellent area to get away from the crowds on weekends.  This wall is the furthest developed wall away from the mail trail and past the Cracker Jack Cliffs.  Rock quality and routes are excellent with a lot of harder lines but 3 or 4 moderates that are worth the hike alone.  The routes tend to be a bit longer than most Jacks Canyon routes as a bonus.  This area gets shade in the mornings and late afternoons.
