Description

The route is located on the left side (south) of Little Spotted Wolf Canyon. The crack is mostly clean with perfect rock. Walk through SWC for about 5 mins passing the chocolate striped slab, around the corner at the other side of the slab/ridge is the fine left facing corner crack a few minutes hike up the steep talus.

P1) The crack starts at about 11/2". The first 70' or so is great 5.10 climbing. Then a short section of much easier, but much chossier rock is protected past three bolts under the mini roof. Thin hands over the roof lead to a two bolt anchor. 125' 5.10.

P2) Start out with fun 5.8 up the low angle crack to the steep off-width section that ends with a 5.10+ crux right at the top. 80' Two bolt anchor.

Register in cairn in alcove above belay.

Descent: Two 70m single rope raps get you to the ground. The second rap may require a touch of scrambling to the ground.
