Description 

Another overlooked Penitente classic. Unfortunately, the requirement to place a couple cams has relegated this fine route to obscurity.

The route starts in a hand crack (some poor rock), which is climbed for 20 feet until a bolt is reached and the face can be climbed. Perhaps a direct start is possible? Once on the face, long reaches between good huecos characterizes the climbing.

Location 

This fine route lies about 50 yards into the canyon on a stunningly smooth wall.

Protection 

#1, #.75 Camalot, 4 bolts.
