Rappelling back to the base of the climb.

Now I know where they got the name from. Pic was taken on the 2nd rap.

That butte is its own topo map! Astounding view from Led by Sheep.

Looking down the rte. People at the first belay. Was waiting for the big tumble but he had no problems. Amazing sight.

This is shot from the top of the route and shows roughly the path that hikers should take to get to the base. The start is actually a bit to the left of where I drew the circle. Sorry for the terrible handwriting too...

Approach as you come through the saddle.

From the approach. The climb is actually around the right skyline.

Looking down the route - easy but super fun!

The view back towards the road from the base of the climb.

Bomber first belay anchor!

At the top found a notebook with handwritten names & messages from climbers that made it there before, a polaroid picture, and this cool rock.

Glued in Piton.

View from the top. Worth the 3rd class scramble from the top of Pitch 4.

The base of the climb and a good picture of the massive glued in eye bolt.

The initial sandy approach gully coming from the road. On the return we stayed higher up on the formation and stayed out of the sand.

Led by Sheep is on the other side of the Butte

Love this route!

Looking up at pitch 4. The final technical pitch.

Typical sandy white slab climbing

Two climbers on their approach to Led By Sheep.

Looking down from the top of either pitch 2 or 3.

Me leading one of the pitches. The bolts are run out but the climbing is really easy.

We didn't find any bushes around, but we reckoned you can start at this bomber ring and belay from it. First bolt is visible from here and is approx. 30 feet directly above.

Looking down from the top of the pitch 1 belay. I missed the two initial bolts that are located up and right of the eye bolt.

Looking up at pitch 3.

Looking down at our packs from the approach ramp that leads to the base of the climb and the massive glue in eye bolt.

Me loving the route!! Super fun.

Looking up from the top of the 4th pitch. This shows the 3rd class scramble to the top. Its worth going to the top for the 360 views. take care to not kick down the loose rocks.
