Description:
start in an obvious gully on the very left side of the dome as you would be facing it. Start up the gully to what becomes a crack system. Climb the crack till you run out of rope or on a slopey ledge. Pitch 2 was unclear either up the slightly easier but unprotected face straight up or as we did which was to keep going up the crack. Harder climbing, probably at least 5.8. 5.6 is what it is rated in the "Backcountry Rockclimbing in Southern Arizona." Rating is as given in the guide as the 5.8 is my opinion only.Descent Options:
No descent required.
