Description 

Solid hand jams lead to a small roof. Turn the roof (crux)and climb through loose rock to a spacious ledge. Belay from this ledge on small gear and a single bolt.

Beyond this ledge, a stick/feather/crap -filled gully leads higher into a large bird nest. I climbed as far as the nest. To top-out would require climbing through a massive, loose, and difficult-to-protect roof.

Location 

This is the clean-looking desert corner approximately 30 feet right of "Trim Your Bush." Avoid cryptobiotic crust on the approach from the parking lot.

Protection 

Standard desert rack.
Helmets!

There is a single 3/8" bail-bolt & hanger.
