Description
I copied this over (and edited the incorrect information) from the posting on the South End...it's not on the South End at all. Smack dab in the middle of the SE Corner.
P1: Climb the face with many really positive holds past many bolts. About 20 ft below the Kauffman Cardon Ledge, there's a set of shuts. To do the entire route, skip these shuts and head up and right, up a left-leaning crack system to reach a stance on Kauffman-Cardon. Move further right about 5-10 ft and find the coldshuts on Kauffman Cardon...these are NOT the ring-anchors to the left of Bee Sting Corner but a set of coldshut anchors located about 1/3 of the way through K-C's 2nd pitch. A piece or two may be needed here in the last 20 ft to reach the ledge. Aim for about 10 ft right of the pine tree on the K-C Ledge. If you just climb to the first set of shuts, it's probably easier than 5.9.
P2: Continue up the face slightly to the left of the belay. A piece or two of gear can be placed before the first bolt. From the bolt, aim for the small overhang, pass 2 more bolts, and climb to the top. Crux is near the overhang.
