Description

This is definitely an 'adventure climb'. The leader starts by standing on a loose block that overlooks a 200' drop. From here, begin climbing up the 10' face then move left onto slabby areas and work up a wide diagonal crack. From here, route find your way between the two prominent 'horns' that comprise the summit. Rope drag, bad falls, and loose rock are all issues here.

Location

Finding this feature is easiesy accomplished from the top down as opposed to the bottom up. Climb Buffalo Mountain and carefully make your way down Y-Coluior and you will see it sticking up prominently to the left.
