Description
This is a modern Sedona anti-gem. Super dirty, bad gear, desert vegetation, amazing views! It looked too cool to not climb. Might turn into a fun moderate with lots of cleaning and more bolts. Go for it! Pitch 1 From a Juniper tree, go up the ramp to veg mantles through cactus to ledge. Gear belay. 5.8 R Pitch 2 Head up the corner, past a bolt, then mantle out of the corner to the left. Continue up past a flake to a 2 bolt belay. 5.9 R Pitch 3 Head right across the amazing run-out slab, to vegetation and a wide layback crack. Sort of money pitch, but not really. Belay on big shoulder ledge. 5.9 R Pitch 4 Mantle jugs over bulges to the summit. Wrap a giant block to belay. 5.9+. Drink a beer and enjoy the view. Cool ass rappel!
Location
Start in the middle of the south face at a juniper tree. Follow your nose. Rap off the east side with 1X 70 meter rope(untested but will likely work) or 2X shorter ropes from a hidden 2 bolt station located about 10 feet below the summit on the East side on a ledge.
Protection
Standard light rack. Nuts, 1X cams from BD#.2 to BD#5, runners.
