Description 

The Original Desert Rock has this route going up from the Southeast. We found no evidence of a plausable route fostering from that side.

P1: Approach the tower from the Northwest climb up and onto the bench seperating it from the rim. From the Bench Climb the farthest right of three crack systems (5.10 crux) into a deep chimney and belay at old bolts. 100'.

P3: A cool pitch! I won't spoil it for you, but figure it out and bust a semi sketchy one move wonder onto the summit. 5.11.

Go back the way u came.

We originally christened this a free variation and called it "Way Bizzar - 5.11" Thinking that the first ascentionists really did hit it up from the southeast. But upon further investigations, I believe this to be the upper half of the original route. With the lower half climbing the left most crack system directly below our tie in point. Harvey clocked the origonal routes pitches in at 5.8 A3; 5.7; 5.7; and 5.8 A2.


Location 

On the Bench Directly above Tiara Rado Golf course.
