Description

Holy cow is this thing a pile! Maybe it could be cleaned up, but right now the rock at the top is really bad. Climbing through bushes at the start add some much needed charm.

Location

This route is located on the large tower the marks the split between the side canyon on the right (How the West was Won, etc.) and the main Penitente Canyon.

Protection

Gear to #3 cam, bolts, no anchor - go figure.
