Description
This route is on the north side of Headstone Rock, the side you rap off, and climbs somewhat diagonally up and right across the face on small holds and lots of difficult moves. Seldom done.
There used to be a bolt ladder up this face, but after the route was toproped free, the FA party decided it wasn't needed and chopped it. There was some controversy afterwards and some people to this day feel it should have been left. Perhaps if it was still intact the recent Three Amigos debacle would not have transpired? Something to think about.
