Access Issue: ACCESS ISSUE* - PULLOUT PARKING CLOSURE

A Lee: *ACCESS ISSUE* - PULLOUT PARKING CLOSURE
The parking lot off Hwy 41G used to be the established point of access to the main canyon, but it is now closed. On 5/31/2020, an access issue arose due to the lot being overcrowded with ~7 vehicles. Saguache County Sheriff was called by the landowners, and the climbers were asked to leave the canyon. Climbers should park at the Penitente Main Canyon and hike in, or park at the established BLM parking lot 1 mile West on 41G and hike the road.
The SLV Climbers Alliance, with support from the Access Fund, is navigating this access issue. Contact slvclimb.org for questions or status reports, or join the Facebook Group "San Luis Valley Climbers Alliance" for the latest updates.
Description
Climb the low angle corner to gain the green lichen covered slab up high. Watch the clips and the slight runout to bolt three. Use all of your slab skills to dance up the great holds to the anchors. Check out the top down
photo.
Location
It is the next route to the left of
Just Do It (the arete with ugly glue-ins) and around the corner from the obvious splitter Organic Gardening.
Protection
6 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor.
