Pure Abstraction

Sit/squat start on left side of the small face.

Starting handholds on a long edge of cool teeth. Good left foothold hidden low in the grass.

Move up and left to a gritty sidepull, right hand to a pokey pinch. Bump left hand up and left to a good small sloper. Grab the jug in the center of the face near the lip. Move out to the right arete jug. Top out on hard to find crimps. Finish by climbing the easy highball topout.

At the fork in the dirt road very near Painter Spring, take the right fork. Pure Abstraction (V5) is in the drainage just south of Painter Spring.

(Instead of taking the left fork to Painter Spring, take the right fork to "Delta Peoples Spring.")

This small canyon mouth has a small cliff band and a beautiful, intermittent waterfall.

From the parking at the mouth of this small cliff band, Pure Abstraction, V5 is essentially roadside- just to the left, about 40 feet up a small grassy hill. There were some stacked rocks and a cinder block in the corner to the right of the base of this problem.
