Arrest and/or hefty fines are likely if caught rock climbing with ropes and gear in the BLM land.

Description
Another of Duane Ackerman's recent additions to the single-pitch side of the Hostess Gully. This route is very well-protected and would make for an excellent first lead. With 7 bolts in 60 feet on huge holds, this route is a fine choice for kids and anyone looking for a mellow romp on steeper terrain than much of the standard Castle Rocks slab.
This route leads to the same chain anchors used by Genevive.
