Beta:
Start by standing on the water level slab and get hands on low horizontal shelf feature. Make strong layback moves on the diagonal rail and work up to reach nose feature. Once on the nose make tricky high tension moves to get hands on the jug shelf left of the roof. Mantel up the jug shelf and climb the easy slab trending left along the arete until you reach the top out platform.
Etymology:
Avanyu (also Awanyu) is a Tewa deity - the guardian waterways and a harbinger of storms; a protector of the Pueblo people. Represented as a horned or plumed serpent Awanyu is depicted with curves suggestive of flowing water or the zig-zag of lightning. Awanyu appears on the walls of caves located high above canyon rivers in New Mexico and Arizona.
*Avanyu is depicted in the petroglyph at East Clear Creek. Wikipedia: Avanyu
