Description
The route to be descibed is the most obvious crack system moving up the low-angle S-faceing buttress of the South Wall on the West Side of Steve Canyon. That's a mouthfull...In short, it's the first route on the left just before you enter the canyon.
Climb up on a few awkward moves to gain a slightly flaring jam crack and continue upward to the top of the rock in that crack system. If you like a lot of pro, take a double set of cams to 3.5" (grey Camalot).
On top, belay from cams in horizontal cracks under boulders. Rappel with one rope from the bolt anchor atop Candelabra.
