Description
This is on the Lost Arrow Buttress of Upper No Thoroughfare Canyon. This is a challenging area to find from above (preferred). It is a long hike in from below 4+ miles. From the Easte entrance to the monument, go up Rim Rock Drive, go left on DS/East Glade Park Rd. past the monument boundary. Park in a large pullout. Cross the road, hop the fence, head south 300+ yards. You may find a cairn. Find a drainage down with a large bowl at the top. You can rap this or downclimb, carefully 4th Class to a tree above a tighter slot. Rap down here, pad the rope (or find significant rope wear later), reach a ledge. Find another tighter corner, and rap to the ground. I recommend leaving the last 2 ropes fixed. Bring ascenders.
Begin a short distance from the rap line access. This neat little route goes up a left-facing dihedral with desert varnish. It goes out left around a little roof at mid-height. A hand-sized crack brings you to a ledge. There is a little chockstone in the corner that may help or not.
Rap 50'. This is fun.
