Arturo's Special

Named for a popular mexican food restaurant in the town of Joshua Tree which closed in 2005.

A start in a chossy, left-facing corner (gear to 2 inches) leads up right to a low-angled ramp and a high first bolt. Climb past the bolt and continue up and left past two more bolts on near vertical patina edges/friction to a final bolt where the angle lessens, the climbing gets easier but you'll go about 15 feet to the bolted anchor/rap on top.

A good climb at a less popular area than many of the Hall of Horror routes makes this worth the walk. Two stars out of five.

Left side of the east face and just right of an prominent chimney that splits the face. Follow a trail through some bushes to the base of the wall and then cut back left via some scrambling to reach the base of this route.

4 bolts, bolted anchor/rap (all bolts 3/8"), a couple of pieces (1.25" and 2") before first bolt
