HUMAN WASTE: Human waste is a major issue plaguing the area. The Southern Nevada Climbers Coalition (SNCC) works to provide "wag bags" free of charge in several locations: Black Velvet Canyon, The Hamlet, Kraft Mountain Area, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor. These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out. Consider bringing one to be part of your daily kit no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly. Do not throw them in the toilets at the parking areas.
See https://www.southernnevadaclimbers.org/wag-bags for more information on the program.
Description
A contrived mini multi-pitch route. Most will start it from the main base ledge of the upper tier which is a shared start with the route, Mugwump, and described as pitch 1 below.
P0: 5.9, 5b, 40'
Start at the toe of the cliff just right of overhung rock and below the main climbing of Mugwump/Mugshot. Climb up and left to get around a scoop, then back right and up over a bulge to the anchors on the edge of the big ledge/base area of the left-end of the upper tier.
P1: 5.10b/c, SR+3b, 75'
Shared start with Mugwump next to the big boulder, but head left to a third bolt at the overhang and continue up and over at a left-angling crack. The climbing difficulty and angle eases significantly for a romp up to the anchors on a ledge below a buttress with a crack that turns into a dihedral.
P2: 5.10a, SR+2b, 65'
Climb up past two bolts to the steep buttress and up the crack/dihedral corner. Continue up easy climbing to a big ledge on top with ample gear anchor opportunities, no bolted belay anchor.
You can easily scramble up and over the top and walk down to Red Springs or back around to the base area. Alternatively, you can scramble down the narrow gully to the right of the top-out ledge and find the anchors for Mugwump and rappel.
