Description
Pabst Smear is at the end of the cul-de-sac of the Happy Hour Area. It's a 4th class scramble up to the climb, but not bad. When you get there, there's a nice staging area enough for a group, leave the heavy stuff below, just bring the quickdraws and the beverages.
The climb itself is the epitome of joshua tree slab climbing. First bolt is about 12' up and the other two bolts are close enough to be safe. With rap rings on top, top rope is an easy set-up.
