Description Suggest change

A long and somewhat wandery line tackling the prominent face to the right of Capulin Classic. The first pitch makes for a nice 5.11 or an alternative start to Pinky Mice.

Pitch 1: Starts near Stairway to Heaven but follows a left arching hand crack. Pull past a solid block onto a slab that leads up past the Capulin Classic ledge. A higher set of anchors just right of Pinky Mice ends this pitch (5.11-).

Pitch 2: Climb up the left side of the pillar to gain a no hands rest on a ledge. Then execute some punchy moves past a bolt and hand traverse left across a ledge. From the ledge head up and right to gain an offset seam protected by small cams and bolts. Finish the headwall on a nice crack in softer rock to the anchors (5.12-).

Location Suggest change

Below and to the climber's right of the OW leading to the Capulin Classic ledge. This route starts near Stairway to Heaven but follows a left arching hand crack past a flake jammed into the crack.

Protection Suggest change

Standard BD double rack from 0.2 to #3 with extra 0.5 - 0.75 Camelots. Additionally, a couple micro cams or micro nuts might be nice to have for protecting the easy slab atop the first pitch.
