Getting There
Continue past the Supercrack area for several miles on 211 as it winds its way along the cliffs. The large parking area can be found on the left side of the road just after a sharp left curve that goes into a long straightaway. The lot is several hundred yards before a fence and cattle guard, about a half mile before the reservoir, and a mile or so before the Beef Basin road junction. It's the same parking for Scarface, Power Wall, Wall Mart, and Old Crusty.
There are two approaches from your car:
1. Follow the base of the cliff from Power Wall if you go there first to climb.
2. Follow the trail towards Power Wall but take the fork the right. Follow this trail, cross the first wash and then take a left into the second wash you cross (it's technically the same wash). A few hundred feet later take a left on a smaller second wash joins this wash that follows the base of the cliff. Walk up this wash along the cliff base until you are beneath the 5.9 called Short Circuit (it's obvious from the wash). Keep walking until the wash begins the gain elevation and you see the large carin on the left. It's obvious but its further than you think. Then pick your way up the super loose gully aka "established climber trail" (ca. 25 minutes)
