Description
This takes the smooth face a ways left of 200 Motels/Taken For Granite that passes over a small roof/overlap midway up.
Sustained climbing with a distinct crux is played out on high-quality stone far better than the usual Indian Cove oatmeal.
Not too far from the car, but far enough away to get a feel for the wildness that Rattlesnake Canyon has to offer. Well worth a visit for this or one of the other fun routes on Rattlesnake Buttress.
