Description
Pull up on less than stellar rock while using careful feet placement to reach the first bolt. Surf the dike up past two more bolts until you have to pull a strenuous move to reach the corner. Holds between bolts one and four are fantastic, while the last portion of the climb is a little gritty but very easy climbing.
Location
Approx 400 yards north of Save the Ales, or 75 yards north of Gila Monster. If walking in from the south, you get to the last rock that looks like it could host a real climb, and there's a low-lying, rounded blob yet to the north -- it's on the NE corner of this blob. Route starts in a notch, and finishes above a medium-sized juniper. It follows a blocky prominent dike. If this route is your first or only destination on Cunning Rock, it's much faster to come in from the N or E. Shade all day.
