Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description 

This route is on the face to the right of "Elf Jism Dihedral". Start where there is a small shrub at the base of the wall. Head up towards the scooped out ledge. Then follow a thin angling lip, to a final lunge towards a jug. Watch for cactus on top.

Location 

Downclimb on easy 3rd class to the south. Or circle around the point, and find a downclimb there.

Protection 

Natural anchors. There is a crack on top, bring a #3 and a #4. You can also thread a chockstone about 20 feet back behind the huge block. Again watch for cactus. This route becomes a 10+ when your hand is loaded with quills (learned from experience)!
