Location
Follow the Boynton Canyon trail for 15 minutes. Route is on the north side of first buttress to extend down toward the trail (on the right), 200 yds up hill on easy scramble. Very visible from main trail! Look for obvious bolt line (well camoed) leading to crack system. (Route is well after Kachina Woman (Bandito Spire) and well before Sundeck and Sinagua Spires). See Bloom/Wolfe guidebook.
