Description

***DANGER- HIGH HAZARD OF ROCKFALL***

A fairly direct line up the far right side of the wall, this route looks cool from a distance. Unfortunately, upon closer inspection the holds are either extremely dusty/dirty, disintegrating, or outright dangerous (I pulled bowling ball-sized blocks off when scoping the route on TR). Most of the choss is encountered as you climb into the roof and chalky face above, but holds were breaking from bottom to top. There is no top anchor, a topout would involve clawing through dirt, detached blocks, bushes, and cactus. I am not sure any amount of cleaning could make this route safe. Belayer beware. Furthermore, the condition of the bolts is questionable, they look old and several were protruding from the wall by ~1/2".
