Description

This route climbs the south face of Headstone Rock between Cryptic and the Southwest Corner. Good climbing on vertical edges, but not on par with it's neighbors due to position and lack of exposure. It remains a TR for those reasons as well as the fact that bolts would detract from the nearby classics.
