Description 

Start at the left edge of the formation and crank up past the first bolt (the inital crux). This route is still fairly new and has some dirty sections down low. A bit of traffic will fix that. Continue up the steep face on thin edges and a few side pulls. Once past the 5th bolt, a thin crack appears. Protect the crack (#6 nut works fine) and continue upward toward a larger vertical crack. The remaining upper section is all protected with gear (again, pro up to 1.5"). Lower off Mussey hooks.

Location 

Once in the flat mini-grass valley, head to a large boulder and tunnel underneath it. Once you get to the other side, there will be a steep wall on the left side. 'Cattle Drive' starts on the left edge of the formation and 20 feet left of Really Really Ridiculously Good Looking.

6 bolts, gear to 1.5". Mussey hooks for anchors.

Protection 

- Draws
- Pro to 1.5" (#6 nut after the 5th bolt)
