A close up of the Armadillo, start on the grassy ledge on the right, up and to the back of the flake. Chimney up to the second indent and belay. Continue up the flake and onto the face, belay on top of the flake. Climb the crack up and to the left. Belay again and around to the left to gain the ridge.

The technical portion of the Armadillo (5.7) Traverse from the higher grassy ledge on the right into the flake. Up the right side (chimney) and onto the face. Climb the crack in the headwall above and gain the ridge from the left.
