Description
Start at obvious but agave filled corner system just to the right of the slab.
P1:Head past first agave making some crux moves to its right. Arrange a belay just below and to the left of the large boulder in front of you. Apparrently the crack to the left of the first pitch makes a good 5.8 variation.
P2: Move past another dastardly agave. The route continues up the obvious squeeze chimney to your right. Follow crack to the top negotiating your way around a very large prickly pear. Another 5.7 variation, that offers a cleaner and possibly more enjoyable finish, is found via a crack going out right, before reaching the large succulant.
Belay at the top and walk off to the East.
