Description
A fun climb and possibly the easiest route on Shadow Rock. It's fairly well protected with 5 bolts to a two bolt anchor. Most climbers climb the route in a line just right of the bolts, clipping with their left hand (this keeps the difficulty at 5.7). Variations are more like 5.9. The protection is plentiful by Bishop Peak standards, with some sporty runs from the 4th bolt to the 5th bolt, and from there to the anchors.
A really great option is to link Desperado with the pitch above, Fields of Fire 5.8, and make it one really long pitch with 9 bolts and a .75" cam. (See Fields of Fire description for details).
