Description Suggest change

This is an odd one. We climbed up the face facing the road, and on the left side. After a bit of scrambling, you come to a very hueco-covered wall;...ascend this up the the shoulder of the formation.....Scramble around a bit, and find steep crack system (short ) to the summit. The climbing is funky and a bit wierd, and the anchor from the shouder is odd too;....a bunch of tied off dirt mushrooms and one pin in a hole. It's a novel experience. I had fun. I did this climb with Tony Sartin in March of 1993. Eric's Guidebook doesn't say too much of the climb; everyone sure has seen the formation, but how many have been to the summit? Take a day off from the punishing splitters and bag a summit....just for kicks.

A rack of cams should do. I believe you place cams in heucos at one point?
