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/

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

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.
