Access Issue: Private land crossing and parking information - PLEASE READ BELOW ! Details

You walk across private land to enter this area. The landowner has been tolerant so long as we don't disturb his land or his cattle. To keep a good relationship with him it is extremely important that climbers don't mess with grazing cattle, and that ALL GATES STAY AS THEY ARE FOUND. Also, the large gate on the north side of the parking area MUST NOT BE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY; the rancher regularly uses this gate as he drives a truck pulling a large trailer, so the road leading to said gate MUST STAY CLEAR by least 40 feet on all sides, including the road perpendicular to it (running east-west). If the parking area is full, drive past the bridge and park on the next pullout (not far), and NEVER BY THE GATE.

Please be respectful and keep this access open to climbers. Use posted photos for this area to familiarize yourself with where parking is and is not allowed. Access to all gates must remain available to a truck and trailer. Parking in any way that restricts access to the gates north of the highway will jeopardize access for climbing.

Description

Another stellar route with defined cruxes pulling the roof mid-route and just below the anchor. Solve these mysterious sequences and find the reward at the anchor. Only loses a star for mediocre rock quality around bolts 6 & 7, just before pulling the roof - the rest of the route is excellent.

Note: there is now a one-bolt link up that starts on this route but takes a hard left before pulling onto the steep section, finishing on Mutton Buster. It goes at 5.9...see "The Golden Fleece".

Important Note: This route is around 40m long and will require either an 80m rope to lower to the ground, or climbers will need to use the intermediate anchor just above the roof to rappel twice or lower-pull-lower (60m should be fine with the midway anchor - tie knots!!). If you aren't comfortable rappelling or double lowering, do not climb this route! Note that this route cannot be TRd without an 80m rope!
