Description 

Start up slab with finger crack and enter corner system. Thin hands to hands to fist to an ow pod. From the ow pod climb steep hands to the two bolt rap anchor. This route saves the crux for the last 25'.

Location 

From the Mace approach, follow the spur trail around the north side of North Mesa. Continue around to the West face of this formation. Andy Kaufman is actually located on a sub-tower off the Northwest corner of North Mesa. Find the obvious chimney that marks The Hurricane. From The Hurricane base hike up and left looking for a pillar of rock that has split from the Northwest tower. Andy Kaufman climbs the left facing corner behind this pillar.
