BETA PHOTO: EFR, sets up for the crux moves on the F.A. Photo ...
Description
Big holds out the hand traverse to a powerful move over the bulge, then hold on up the steep face to the top. Steep fun moves, on big holds out over the water. Very unique for the Milagrosa and Mt. Lemmon. Draws can be stripped from the chains with less effort than it appears.
Location
Walk past oasis wall, up canyon to the next big pool. Scramble down to the cozy belay area at the base of two routs that asend the east side wall. This is the left hand route that starts off the dry area by the pool. Shares the first bolt with the other route, then bust left to the traverse.

Jimbo: great name, finally a drug innuendo out of you. I was super psyched to try this before the drill dust could even settle. This route will absolutely be one of the Milagrosa classics after the crunchies up high are cleaned up. Kickin' myself for waking up late and missing out on the FA party. Thanks for the work. I owe you a Guiness.
