Description
Texas Two Step is a very good route and possibly the easiest lead at Maverick Buttress. It's located about 200 feet to the left of Hot Toddy and starts on top of some large boulders. The route begins in a right face corner with a hand crack that leads to some great step like features for the feet on the face. Staying in the same crack, it becomes a left facing corner and the angle eases back. Jam away until the crack gets too wide and finish with some exciting moves to a good stance. Descent: Rap 70' to the boulders
A very good route that gradually runs from tight hands to fist. I have relatively small hands so I was doing hand stacks at the top. The gear can run from #1 camalot to #3.5 or #4 camalot. As of 5-4-2003 the anchor slings should be replaced as they are a bit of a rats nest - unfortunately I didn't have my usual load of spare webbing.

For gear, I placed a .75 camalot off the ground, 2 #1s, 2 #2s, 2 #3s, 2 #3.5s , and the top can take a #4 if you want to drag it along. Calling this the easiest lead on Maverick may hold true if you have big hands. But since I have small hands, the whole second half of this climb was fists and stacks. Not real easy for me, but one hell of a work out.
