Description
Approach as for rappelling to Yucca Flower Tower. See directions there for finding the rap station for Aces and Eights.
Rap 180 feet to a small ledge, and build a belay. If you instead end the rap lower at a dirt stance in the gully itself, this can add about 20 feet of stiff climbing just left of the gully where pro may be scant (we only top roped).
Assuming a higher stop than the dirt spot in the gully, the route starts up a moderate left facing dihedral with a hand crack and a few face moves here and there with good movement qualities on the entire climb. It is a little dirty and loose in a few spots, but it is worth doing. The crux is about 2/3 of the way up and the grade remains consistent for the entire route.
Location
The 2 bolt chained anchor for this route is located about 15 yards south of The Great Escape anchors.
