Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This route is not as famous as El Matador, but the concept is the same; protect in a finger crack and jam/stem your way up the opposed dihedrals. Once the crack thins to tips up high, make a hard traverse right around a column and follow an easier crack to anchors in about 15 ft. This route puts you within spitting distance of the 1893 ladder. Look, but don't touch!

Location 

Just to the right of Bon Homme.

Protection 

Finger and thin-hand sized pieces.
