Description 

I think we meant Pollo Picante because while the route is high and dry (seca) it is also kind of spicy. Start left of the bolt line on some small boulders to gain access to the bad ledge that forms the transition from sandstone to basault. Traverse right on the ledge (10 feet up!) to reach the first bolt (it is easier than it looks), then straight up from there. Fun movement with tons of exposure.

Location 

The next bolted route left of Left Wing (10 yards), marked by the small boulders stacked at the start to allow access to the ledge traverse.

Protection 

7 bolts to Springer Anchors
