Description
Men With Cow's Heads takes the right-hand (more or less straight up) crack of the prominent Y-shaped crack formation in the middle of the Atlantis Wall. (Solar Technology (5.6) is the left-slanting crack).This climb protects well and would make a great beginner TR or lead.
Another crack splits off to the left about 2/3 of the way up this climb. Vogel doesn't rate it as a distinct climb, but it goes at around 5.6+.
What is behind this route's name? Hint: The name's origin has nothing to do with the route itself and everything to do with something nearby.
