Description

Begin just right of "Little Big Horn" in a sandy wash at the base of the crag. Bouldery moves gain a left facing dihedral with an offwidth crescent shaped crack on the right. Awkward moves (5.9) lead to a small roof with a solid thin horn above the roof. Pull the roof (5.9) and continue in the left slanting finger / hand crack surrounded by vibrant orange rock. The crack becomes low angle near the top and ends on a ledge. Veer right for 15' to a larger ledge then back left to the rappel anchors. A little dirty down low but another great warmup.

Protection

A variety of cams from 0.5" to 5" and stoppers protect this relatively lengthy crack / face climb. The route ends on a ledge just right of the "Little Big Horn" rappel anchors. Two rope rappel to the ground.
