Access Issue: PLACING BOLTS IS ILLEGAL IN THE SUPERSTITION WILDERNESS! Details

In the early '90's the USFS banned all placement of bolts in the Superstition Wilderness. This unfortunately includes replacement of existing bolts. Violating this ban may result in climbing restrictions on this beautiful area. Please think twice and go bolt somewhere else.

Description

Fun pocketed route. Rating this a 5.6 to keep in line with the rest of the sandbagged ratings in the area. The rock quality was surprisingly good and the summit is amazing. I built a traditional anchor at the top, on the pinnacle to climbers left of where the route ends. However, you could belay from the top of WBTYM if you're not fiending for the summit views like I was.

Location

Start same as Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am, and when you get to a small bulge, go climber's left instead of right. See picture for route I took, which was the path of least resistance.
