Details
It is presently illigal to climb on the Navajo Indian Reservation. These climbs are listed here for historical purposes only.
Description
Really more like R/X but that's not an option.
P1: 5.7 R/X Face climb up low-angled jagged jugs on the west face. Build a gear anchor on a ledge. (90') Standard rack
P2: 5.7 (5.5 R) Punch up the fist crack directly above the belay in a right-facing corner then head up low-angled rock to the summit. (70') Rack to #4 Camalot
Rappel 110 feet from webbing around a boulder on the NE corner.
This was the first known ascent of the route as well as the formation, which Quentin had been eyeing up from his parent's house a few miles away since he was a boy. You can see this volcanic plug from the front porch.

Location
From Red Rock Trading Post, head east on Hwy-13 to the first left (N63). Take this north for about 7.5 miles. Turn left onto an unsigned dirt road (Route 5024). Turn left again onto a two-track and drive directly to the volcanic plug. This route climbs the west face of it. The big boulder to the left of this route/formation has also been done.
