Description A short climb, but some interesting climbing... Just around the corner right from the approach trail to Left Flank, there is a short climb on some steep rock. Climb up off-angle pockets for the crux of this one past a total of four bolts to the anchor. I believe this climb was named after a local preacher in the early 90's.
Location Left Flank, just right of the approach trail.
Protection 4 bolts to a 2-bolt anchor.

| Named for a southern radio evangelist I think. Not necessarily local. |

| Don't fall clipping ... this rock is rough and sharp. I also thought the bolts were a little far from the 5.9 climbing on the arete. Wasn't a big fan. |

| Fun Climb with a hard start. Climbing on the arete is the actual route but you are sometimes pretty far from the clips. |

| The first bolt felt like v1, maybe because it was wet. The rest felt like easy 5.8 with safe clips despite all of the moisture. |
