Description Suggest change

Start in a casual vertical hand crack to a small bulging roof 1st crux, place one or 2 bomber hand size  pieces and get after it!  You will then get a couple of good finger size pieces sling these long and traverse right to the arete / “spire” . Easy but heady (Just don’t think about it Morty- Urrrrp!)  Peek into the crack at the base of the “spire” a perfect spot for a .75 & a creative.3 above that. Step right of your gear & Then fun and thought provoking  Crystal pinching to the top .

Location Suggest change

This route is located at the southern most tip of the West World Formation, less than 100’ from HWY 244.  Not actually in the Grotto proper. 

Protection Suggest change

Stoppers, .3-#3 Cammalot, 4 bolts, bolted chain anchors.
Throw your rope to the  skiers right of the “spire “ when rappelling.
