Description Suggest change

Located between 'Gateway to the Lost World' route and the 'Pearly Gates' route. See Desert Rock IV by Bjornstad The very obvious right facing corner and crack. A great climb for wide crack lovers.

P1) Climb the flake/chimney to huge flake wedged in the chimney 50' 5.7 P2/3. Chimney/layback around the roof then up corner crack to a bolt. Here one may have to belay due to rope drag 5.10d Continue up the wide offwidth passing bolts and large cam placements to a thin right facing corner and the top. This upper section was followed free at about 5.11+. Awaits full free ascent as of Nov 2003. 150' 5.10d C1.
