Description
A rarity for the Pinnacles, steep crack climbing leads to a knobby face. Surmount the short overhanging crack(crux) and wander up the face(5.9+) past two moderately-spaced bolts. Belay at the top of the formation from a single bolt or use a mid-pitch gear and bolt anchor.
The route was named for Condor #70 who parked itself about 20 feet away during the FA to make sure we adhered to proper Pinnacles' 'Ground Up' standards!

Location
There are two obvious cracks at the Fault Zone. Condor 70 is the left crack. Hand Me Down is the right crack.
