Please park and camp on Access Fund property and take the new trail down. Please donate today at accessfund.org/homestead to secure permanent access and conservation of the Homestead.

Description

Another endless pitch on the Rough Rider Wall. It just goes on and on then you have the second half. Really good climbing on rock that gets the forearms warm but still allows recovery along the way.

Location

Just to the right of Morning Mate (Mahtay).

Protection

Bolts. 70M rope

Dude, that was so 27 seconds ago. There are now two or three routes between Mate and Disrespect the Cattle. Oh, there's another new one and five people have climbed it and confirmed the rating. Oh another new one. Ha ha ha. Apr 18, 2012

This route is called 'Horsewhipped' and was established by Scott Ayers. The route to the right, which I mistakenly called 'Horsewhipped' is called 'Saddle Sores'. Mar 3, 2013
