Location

This climb has a sting in its tail. Walk through Spotted wolf Canyon and in 5 minutes on the left side past the North Ridge one will come to a very large amphitheater with a ridge on its right and a cave at its top. This climb is on the right side on a slab with a prominent S-shaped chocolate slab. The climb starts up the gray slab just to the right of the chocolate rock. Scramble up low angle slabs for several hundred feet to the start.
