Climbing Access Closed MORE INFO >>> I was recently informed, by a friend, that the State Park will be giving tickets to people found climbing in this area. It turns out that these routes are on private property and the land owner has voiced their complaints. For the time being all climbing at Hueco Point is closed and climbers should keep from climbing here. Its mostly choss anyway. This new development also serves as a reminder that we need to keep a low profile and be sure to practice good Leave No Trace practices and pick up the trash of others when you can.

Description 

This is a great line on the left side of Hueco. Most of the climb is easy with the first few moves being the hardest. Be very confident at the grade as this is soft sandstone so gear can never be completely trusted.

Climb up the hand crack to the ledge. Continue up an offwidth crack to the top. Belay off trees at the top.

Location 

15ft left of Swiss Cheese . It is the hand crack in the corner leading to an offwidth to the right of an overhanging roof

Protection 

.5-4 Camalots though I'd like to have a second #4's or a #5 for the OW, hexes, and perhaps a few nuts. Slings or cord for the anchor.
