Description

This route is on the west side about 25' south of "The Secret of Mother Butler." A very large nolina is at the base of the route. Climb double cracks for about 30' and then veer left over two bulges (cruxes) before making committing moves back right near the top to the rappel station. Nice climb with varied movement (3 out of 5 stars).

Protection

Medium stoppers, small to medium TCU's, and cams to 3" provide adequate protection. Slings at the top for the rappel can be used as an anchor (cams to back it up).
