Description
This route is the rightmost of the four routes on this wall. Start up a finger/thin hand crack from the ledge at base of route. Upon the termination of the crack follow the bolted line to the anchors. Prepare to dig deep into your quiver of techniques for this route. The story behind the name is as follows. Burt Lindquist was belaying Brent on top rope to mark bolt positions. Brent summited and was preparing to lower and drill bolts. A NPS ranger came driving down the now gated road about the time Brent was going to lower off with the drill in hand. The ranger stopped and checked out the scene then moved on. Burt was worried and asked Brent what to do if the ranger approached. Brent replied "tell him don't shoot, I'm only the belayer".
