Description
This climb is located in a hard to find spot, on a boulder, on the direct approach to the Valley of the Kings. Hike up Rattlesnake Canyon until you are in front of The Pyramid. About here, you scramble So. and up talus and large boulders towards the Valley of the Kings. Close to the top, you will find this climb, which faces N. and starts sort of down low in a hole/cave like area. 4 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor
