Description
The route is a logical top out for parties looking for a moderate way to climb out after summiting the Bush Shark Spire. From the high point in the notch behind the Bush Shark Spire down climb to the right a couple of body lengths into a chimney. Continue traversing R for about 20 ft to the base of a short steep corner under the main crack system. Do a couple steep tricky moves to get up into the crack system. Once in the crack/corner follow it up til it ends about 180ft. Best to belay here and do a second shorter pitch to the top. The crux comes in the form of physical Yosemite style crack climbing. This route is unusual in the Sandias because it follows a continuous crack system and ends with a pretty cool chimney section. Unfortunately the route gets overgrown due to neglect.
