Not that this thing really needs a topo... There's a PDF version of this formatted to fit on an 8.5 x 11 page here: http://www.thealoof.com/climbing-mexican-hat-utah/
Lowering off after a "rafting ascent" which consists of<br> Flip flops, swimsuit, nrs straps for daisy chains, and slings for harness.

Access from the North side, from BLM campsites along river. Meets up with the original approach trail at the top of line.

Bring the beers and some cards, the summit is a nice place to spend Thanksgiving morning.
The engineering (crux) for this route: hammer, 2 nuts, and a whole lot of duct tape. I added a rip cord tied into a mule hitch to close the carabiner gate after clipping.
Reaching bolt #2.
Thanks for the beer K!!! Glad we got there before it got skunked! We came off the river on 4/14, drove by and saw you up there too.
