UPDATED 

Description

Route finding will probably not be much of an issue on this route. The first pitch is likely the crux.Pitch 1: Climb the obvious weakness in the corner to a ledge. Belay on ok gear anchor after stepping left or continue traversing left on the ledge to the north side of the west face at a Putin and bolts anchor.Pitch 2: Take the easiest line up and trending right to the top with boulders and / or small trees for anchor.

Location

Descend the south side of Tombstone as described on the Tombstone page. West Face Traverse starts near the first obvious rock bench that affords a view of the west face.

Protection

Rack suggestion varies with comfort level and whether doing this in two versus three pitches. Largest cam needed is probably 2”. Some may find small nuts and micro-cams useful.
