Rattlesnake Meat Farmer
Description
By Flagstaff standards, this is pretty good IMO, and I hope it gets some repeats. It has a good mix of styles starting with 1/4 pad edge static movement, moving into a deadpoint, and ending with slopers high enough to feel off the deck a little bit. The starting holds (see the photo) look non-existent until you crimp onto them. The grade is a guess.
V1 / V2 and pretty good if you go directly up the arete. Probably some harder than V6 start variations are possible as well.
There is an easy 5th Class downclimb off the backside. It's safest to continue climbing to the top of the formation and then traverse to the far north side before circling back.

Location
From the top of the Hobo Cave, walk north on a faint trail about 200 meters. You'll pass a hiking overlook and hop scotch over a fallen tree.
