The crux is high. It was dirty, but reports now indicate it has cleaned up considerably. Lots of pockets and interesting sequential moves.
Location
This is the first route located on the right as you enter the Narrows of South Willow Canyon. Go up and under a huge hanging cottonwood stump to wall with a huge cave at its base. IN MY HEEL traverses across the top of the cave to the first bolt and continues up past others to the chains. This is the first sizeable piece of rock as one enters the narrows on the right side of the road going up canyon. It has seen many repeats from the local crowd over the years, but is being reported now for the first time.
Protection
QDs to a two bolt belay. Drilled on lead with a Ryobi from hooks and gear. Has cleaned up alot since the time of the FA.
The 1st bolt is high, a stick clip might take the bite out of it. It sports a rusty pin up higher that looks questionable as well. Still pretty dirty, but the road is right there so I doubt the thing will ever loose it's dust skin.
