This certainly isn't the route or block that is pictured in the 60 moderates book. Based on Vogel's description in the 92' book (having a north and west face, and it's a 'block') I would say your picture looks like the correct stone. That, and the fact that Vogel gave the route two stars and the one in the 60 best book isn't worth the 10 minute walk over there. Just curious if anyone knows anything about it.

The 60 favorite books is wrong about the location of this formation and route. The photo above is correct. Central Josh has a photo and correct info. The formation shown in the 60 routes book is actually Dissolution Corridor which has 5 easy routes on it.

Thanks Randy, makes sense, the route pictured above actually looks worth climbing. I'll delete my bomb.
