Description Suggest change

Lazarus is the short, slender spire that is the southern of the trio of smaller towers including Hermit's Hovel; it is the left-hand spire when viewed from the Deadman's Spires campsite in the wash below the formations. The rock is pretty damn soft, but this is a pretty straightforward aid ramble for those who enjoy obscure summits. 

Scramble up to the north notch between Lazarus and Hermit's Hovel. Thrutch up a wide crack for 15' or so to a ledge atop a pillar. Aid past 2 bolts on a steep bulge and then up a micro-splitter on relatively good rock (for this zone). Another bolt protects the moves onto the shoulder ledge. Aid up two more bolts and tension right off of the second to a shelf and the anchor. Carefully surmout the large choss blocks above the anchor to the deteriorating summit.
