Description

Starts about 10' left of

Where Have all the Cowboys Gone?

(5.10b) at a short right-facing flake which is the start for both this route and

Sureshot

(5.12a).

Lieback the starting flake and trend left up slightly overhanging rock past several horizontals to a reachy crux at the 3rd bolt (shorter climbers may need to pop for the distant hold) as you stretch from one horizontal to the next. Above the crux the angle relents and moderate off-vertical face climbing leads to another crux (poor rock) past the 5th bolt before topping out onto a large ledge with anchors.

A direct finish to this route continues straight up past the 2nd bolt and is called

Sureshot

(5.12a).

Protection

5 bolts, chain anchors (shared w/

Where Have all the Cowboys Gone?

)
