Description Suggest change

A direct start variation to Coyote Rain.  Flake the rope & have your belayer stand next to the tree, where the original start is to Coyote Rain.

Begin the climb to the left & below the original start, below a right-facing flake & directly underneath the pine tree way up that is growing underneath a detached triangular block.

Climb the lower slabs, then the flake, then a series of ledges.  Clip the Chinos piton on the right, then continue up.  Protect next in a small crack on the right (small pieces might make you feel better), then fire a somewhat thought-provoking crux.  

At the pine tree, go right. Do not sling the tree or climb the detached block - its integrity is questionable. Should be fine left alone.

Continue right on jugs and up to the Coyote Rain roof. Fire the roof & continue up to the P1 tree anchor.

A climb for those of you who want to combine the thrilling roof of Coyote Rain  with classic Longstack ledge-hopping. Can also be toproped after leading Coyote Rain P1.

Location Suggest change

Left and several feet below the start to Coyote Rain.  Directly beneath the pine tree / detached block higher up the cliff under the roof, going up where there used to be some terraces of dried-out bushes.

Look for lighter-colored granite dents where we peeled some of the bad rock off

Protection Suggest change

Standard rack to 2" (BD#1).
