Description 

Go up a left diagonal crack when that crack dwindles choose the path of least resistance and continue up left until you get to a cave. Move up at to the left of the cave to where it joins Are We Ourselves. Pull the final (crux) move to the top.

Watch out for loose rock. Some of the slab is pretty loose.

Reference: Vogel, Randy. (2006). Rock Climbing Joshua Tree West. Falcon Publishing. A great resource.


Location 

About 30 feet right of Spaghetti & Chili on the southwest face of Cyclops Rock.


Protection 

To 2.5 inches; two bolt anchor/rap on top. As of January 2008 one hanger on the rap anchor was very loose. I suggest walking off to northeast.

Nasty climb, and the crux at the top sure ain't 5.4!

Why is it a bomb? And doesn't it finish on Spaghetti and Chili? 5.7?
