Super easy approach, just across the wash from 1000 ft. of fun. The chimney on the first pitch really isn't much fun. Use caution on the rap. The rap line looks clean and nice, however, there are hollow flakes and ledges that catch the ropes when you pull them. Alternately, these same flakes and ledges get pulled onto you. Don't be careless when pulling your rope.

More fun for us moderate climbers. The first pitch was a blast and has good gear if you know were to look. Second pitch is kind of run out if you don't bring some bigger cams. Great views. You can rap off the top with two 60 meter ropes. Keep it up. Ned Walker
