Description

Amazing route. the third pitch, the 200ft red dihedral is 5.7+*****(super classic!). This adventure climb could be the one reason to visit the Hulapai Wall.

p1. 5.8 gray face to a gray dihedral 150ft p2. 5.9 corner 130 ft p3. 5.7+ red dihedral 200ft p4. wherever you wanna go several variations are available, watch for choss p5. a strong party could unrope and solo easy 5th class in a variety of ways for about 100ft to the top

Descent: Once topped out we walked left/north to the first major gully. There was some down scrambling until we reached a ledge where we turned left/south and made a move out onto "The Catwalk", an awesome feature that bridges over deep space to the "Angel of the Desert" spire. We continued trending south, around and behind that, and then down another gully, though some caves, and short down-climbs till we were shwacking down alongside the Eagle's Nest, and back to the base.

Location

lookers right of the Eagles Nest(the most prominent tower), on the main wall, Look for a reddish dihedral.
