Access Issue: Sticky situation
Details
This place is desolate and dangerous WYO desert with very few amenities nearby, and zero assistance should you find your pretty-little-self in a bind.
The people are ornery and the land is mean. I don't recommend coming here at all. If the rednecks, miners, roughnecks vagabonds or land doesn't get ya, some dehydrated whacked-out windblown sunbeaten climber just might. . . . Sweetwater Rocks and adjacent areas require LOW-profiles and LOTS of respect and consideration. Keep all fences/gates as you found them. Do not build fires. Adhere to all posted signs. Do not drive off of existing paths (roads). Do not let your dog run around (chances are great that it'll be shot, bitten, trampled or fed upon). Do not take anything from this land. . . and do not leave anything. Good BLM quads are essential (make sure they're up to date). Granite Mtns (Sweetwater) area closures are adjustable and are done so via ranchers and BLM officiales. Great tracts of this area are privately owned; meaning that they are always closed. For example: Lankin Dome BLM as of last year was closed 04-30 thru 06-31 for public AND private lands; between 03-01 thru 04-31 it was closed on private land. So, sometimes private easements are opened, and sometimes they aren't. . . same with public lands; oh, and mining claims too! Pay particular attention to any signage and postings.

Description
This the the left hand route of the two here, the other being Rancher Avoidance Procedure. A thin start leads into the 60m trough. Follow the bolts to a 2 bolt Fixx anchor belay on a cool ledge under the overhang/cave.
This is a low angle face and friction route, fun to take beginners up.
Rappel the route...you need two-60m ropes to rappel.
Location
At the car, cross the fence and walk up a faint ridge that parallels the face to a flat little meadow below the slabby SW side. Aqua Sucre and Rancher Avoidance Procedure are on the face above to the right of a large, right-facing corner system, below a cave like overhang. Scramble up 40ft or so to a ledge at the base.
