Description Suggest change

George B. had the pencil description of this 5.11 jug haul, thin crux between 2nd and 3rd bolt. Step left after slanting roof to reach right-leaning flake, follow this clipping its pin and exit right.

I'm told there is a trad 12d to the left of this route.

Location Suggest change

Taken from area description:

Approach via the Royal Arch Trail. As you climb steeply out of the riverbed, you'll notice a large, roof/block on your left after about 5-10 minutes. 150 feet further is a seasonal closure sign tacked to a tree. Drop into or contour around the gully here (a climber's trail is visible), then head up and north into the long gully leading north to the Upper Bench (this is listed as an alternate descent route for the 3rd in many guidebooks).

About halfway up the gully, you'll pass a small crag on the right (the south face has two bolts, the west face has "Holier than Thou," a 5.11 route past 4-5 bolts up the overhanging, huecoed face).

Protection Suggest change

5 or 6 bolts, 1 pin. 2 bolt anchor. We rapped with a 50m.
