Description Suggest change

One of the longer routes in the area, Posse On My Tail climbs a long rounded buttress of small pockets & edges. This line is slabbier than it first appears. Good footwork & balance are just as important as finger strength on this technical line.

Begin with long moves between good, deep pockets right over the bolt line. Its probably possible to start on some of the Wild Horses jugs, but its not necessary. Move up & left onto the slab. Thin, devious moves between hard-to-see holds lead up & right. A few invisible crimps lead to better pockets and easier climbing up the headwall.

Location Suggest change

The far right end of the Wild Horses Wall is marked by a choss filled gully. On the left wall of this gully is a slabby 5.10. Just left of this is a narrow chimney, and just left of this are two bolted 5.11s whose first bolts are only a few feet apart. Posse On My Tail is the left-most of these two routes.

Or, its the next line right of Devil Wears Spurs.

Protection Suggest change

Bolts, 2 BA. Stick clip recommended.
