Description
Start just left of two boulders at the base of a left leaning crack. Climb up and left along the crack then step right onto easier terrain and up to the top. This route and the next (Wayward Westerners) are sunny and quite sheltered on a windy day.
Location
Begin about 150 feet left (southwest) of the Den of Doom on a ledge that is about 30 feet above the desert floor. The best approach is via a short water runnel that leads up a slab behind a boulder. Go up and left about 50 feet to the base of the route. The route is visible from the parking lot.
