Description
Beginning from the Amphitheater, hike south to a saddle on the west side of the formation. From the saddle, climb up a right-to-left crack/ramp. Pass a glue-in bolt and make some semi-exposed moves (class 5.3) near the top to a ledge with a single large rappel bolt. At the ledge, complete a short scramble (class 5.0) up a short headwall to another smaller ledge. Continue right and traverse along the ledge past two small palo verde trees to an upper class 3 slab. Then motor up the slab to a false summit. Head left to a saddle between the false summit and true summit – be mindful of a bee hive 20 feet right of the saddle. From the saddle, knob pinch up to a groove mixed with slab to the tippy top (class 5.0).
Down-climb the route. Note: there are rappel anchors that appear to drop to the east near the top. It's also possible to rappel the first pitch from the large single bolt.
