Description

The description below, found in NMSU archives, was created by the legendary Southwest Mountaineers. It is at a minimum twenty years old and may date as far back as 1970’s. The rock itself may have changed since that time. The rating certainly has. You will want to add at least a point to it. Treat what follows as a rough guide to an adventure, not as a solid and current info. If you do climb the route, sharing of what you learn would be appreciated.

Climb up to the pinnacle in one medium length pitch from the South Rabbit Ear/Rabbit Ears Massif saddle. This pinnacle was first reached by rappelling from the summit (J. Goncz and T. McCalla.)

Location

This sharp spike juts out of the bottom part of the unclimbed upper South Face of the South Rabbit Ear. Approach from South Rabbit Ear/Rabbit Ears Massif saddle.

Protection

Standard rack.
