Aiden O using a broom to clip the first bolt.
Not that this thing really needs a topo... There's a PDF version of this formatted to fit on an 8.5 x 11 page here: http://www.thealoof.com/climbing-mexican-hat-utah/
The engineering (crux) for this route: hammer, 2 nuts, and a whole lot of duct tape. I added a rip cord tied into a mule hitch to close the carabiner gate after clipping.

Bring the beers and some cards, the summit is a nice place to spend Thanksgiving morning.
Reaching bolt #2.

If you feel like aid soloing, or would like to make an anchor, here's what you get!

Thanks for the beer K!!! Glad we got there before it got skunked! We came off the river on 4/14, drove by and saw you up there too.
