Description Suggest change

This route is only one pitch different from the popular route Rincon. Climb first two pitches of Rincon to the bolts, chains, and slings atop pitch two. From here, work right approximately 15 feet towards an old bolt hanger, clip, then move straight up towards a shallow square trough. Before entering the trough, place green/yellow aliens vertically in the horizontal crack off to the left. These should be your last gear for awhile unless you bring those ballnutz for the tiny hole left by the knifeblade I ripped out while on a 40 foot speed-descent... Move gradually left and up on a lichen-covered face with few footholds to eventually gain the rap anchor atop Rincon's pitch four. From here, walk-off according to the Rossiter guide (south), rap Rincon (argh!), or move up to higher routes on the wall.

Protection Suggest change

Rack up for Rincon, emphasis on black-orange aliens. They saved MY ass... Maybe some ballnutz too.
