Description 

This route is located to the right of "Little Mecca" and to the left of "Regroovable". This route is one of the newer routes in the area, and may seem soft for the rating compared to some of the old school climbs near by.

Follow the shallow crack to a bulge, and work your way to the left. Some of the holds are hard to spot from below. They are also alittle sharp as the name suggests. This is probably one of the top three 5.10's on the Contest Wall.


Protection 

6-7 bolts

Actually Cactus Drop is one of the old routes on this crag. Regroovable is fairly new.

AC, you are correct. I checked the old Van Horn guide book, and Cactus Drop was put up before 1990.

Varied climbing with great bolt placement... pockets, edges, flakes, underclings and even a finger jam! Great body positions and a very thin crux. Excellent route. 6 bolts.

There are 7 bolts on this route. (The bottom bolt is visible but not marked in the photo above). Really fun route!
