Description Suggest change

5.10 climbing gets you to a ledge.  In the stretch above, the holds become cryptic as the wall steepens.  Go left or go right?  Choices, choices.  Creative movement and friction might get you up either pathway at the fork in the road.  The climbing eases up a bit, but small holds and slab will keep you on your toes before you finish on a big ledge.

Note: The route is fully equipped with permadraws, but there is 1 optional bare bolt above the 5th perma.  The movement is not difficult here, but bringing a quickdraw to clip may be wise for ledge-fall protection.  The anchor consist of two bolts with no additional hardware.  Rap rings or carabiners would be useful here.  The anchor just left for Gourmet Club has one chain and clip.

Location Suggest change

Start just above the distinctive barrel cactus shown in the photo.

Protection Suggest change

Fully equipped with permadraws plus one optional bare bolt above the 5th perma; the climbing is not difficult here, but bring a quickdraw to protect against ledge fall here if you prefer to be conservative.  Anchor consists of two bare bolts without additional hardware (no rap rings, chains, or clips).
