One of Josh's best pitches?
ID 121351987 · · Copyright Violation?
Condition of anchor as of November 2023. Some corrosion visible on right bolt.
Who ever placed the third bolt must have been about 6'5".... Fully stretched out to make the clip and then a rough transition over it was the crux for me

Approach Beta: Heading into the gully out of Wonderland Wash. We went up the right side of the gully (from this perspective) and down the left side (still from this perspective). The left side was easier but you have to get up and high... but not too high (or it become technical) or too low you (end up in a cave of huge boulders). Overall the approach wasn't as bad as people make it out to be....
Trying to get to the second bolt. Firewater Chimney!
