Description

Start about eight feet to the right of Ancestral Puebloans below an obvious crack. Crank up the juggy overhanging start to gain the left-slanting tight dihedral.  At the top, instead of finishing toward the back through a trivial awkward wide gap, it is more fun to veer up and left via a cupped hands crack toward the top of Ancestral Puebloans.

Misc

This one girl spent some days learning to herd sheep here in SoCal.  She caught a cold a few weeks later.  One evening, she heard knocking on her front door.  She opened it to see a lil lamb bringing her hot soup and lozenges.

Protection

Cams to 3", gear anchor. Easy walkoff to climber's right.
