Description
TLDR: Mediocre route. Don't waste your time. This route will probably never even see enough ascents to quite clean up. 0 out of 3 or 1 out of 5 stars.
This is a mediocre line forced up through dirt, bushes, and ledges, with little worthwhile climbing compared to the rest of the canyon, and the Eastern Sierra canyons overall. Each pitch is separated by walking on ledges and easy terrain. Unfortunately, you can't see much of that from the ground, or you would probably reconsider climbing the route.
The beta in the book is not good overall. The effort to descend is not worth the quality of the climbing, in my opinion. You can use a set of rap anchors for the final rappel to the climber's right of the large first pitch corner.
I edited this description to help with the FA Team's ego. I was a little more critical the first time around.
