I'm not sure if we met Trent specifically (the rancher mentioned in this photo/map showing access from the north mountainproject.com/photo/1…), but some of the others in the area were not psyched. A user put together another map with landowner beta here, but it is emphasized that you must ask for permission first, which could be challenging: mountainproject.com/photo/2….
It's best and simplest to take the original (long) approach from the south. Perhaps in the future we can work something out like an official easement trail, but for now, it seems unlikely. If you decide to track down a rancher and follow the northern approach beta in the photos/maps, you do so at your own risk.
Description
Short route that always feels a little harder than it looks. Easy to get to and catches evening sun.
Location
Underworld South - this route is on the opposite side of the canyon as most other routes. This means it is much faster to get to if you choose to take the Prophecy Wall road out and hike in off the high clearance road. This also means it gets afternoon sun in the winter. Take the trail as if you were going to the Underworld, but cut right at the base of the cliff instead of continuing down the trail to the river - cairns mark the way along the base of the cliff. Follow this for a couple hundred yards. This route is about 50ft before Cottonmouth and the carabiners on the bolts are very easy to see from the ground.
