Description
Clip a bolt and then launch into excellent 5.10 crack climbing that is right slanting offering up challenging locks and thin face for your feet. The crux is definitely the face climbing after the crack, but is well protected.
Location
Climbs the leftmost of the 3 prominent parallel cracks on the Upper Walts face. Begins on top of ledge just left of large chimney where Mojave Queen starts. You can climb the chimney (haven't done this), climb the sporty route to the left of the chimney, or access via rappell after topping out on White Rain or Mojave Queen (preferable). 2 raps to the ground from the top with 60M rope. Anchors are to the left of the topout. See photo of all routes in Upper Walts Rocks for location.
