Description Suggest change

This used to begin at a pine tree (now gone, not even a stump) about 40 feet down and right from "Arkansas Patriot." This on the left side of this rock. Go left from where the approach trail reaches the rock.

Now per Kurtz: hike left from where the approach trail(s) reaches the rock. Begin on the RIGHT side of a distinctive, protruding block that is shown in many of the pictures. The first bolt is kind of high but is easily reached. You can also place your own pro. Note that Arkansas Patriot (5.10) starts on the LEFT side of the block. Do not confuse the two.

This long climb is fairly simple to figure out... climb straight up through the bolts to a two bolt anchor. Remember to place pro in some horizontal cracks if the next bolt feels too far away. A double-rope rappel is easiest (165 feet), but it is possible to scramble down to the west (left).

Protection Suggest change

If I remember correctly, there are 6 bolts on the face (don't worry, I know for sure that's there's no more than that!). Bring a few small cams (#0.5 and #0.75 Camalots) and stoppers to supplement the bolts if you aren't positive about a good distance between bolts on a 5.7. Two-bolt anchor 165 feet up, so bring TWO ROPES for the rap.
