Description:
DON'T TRY THIS ONE IN THE DARK, UNLESS YOU'VE DONE IT MANY TIMES BEFORE. Head NE towards Mt. Watkins, keeping close to the cliff. Keep going (longer than you think you should) before dropping down and right into the sandy gully. No rappelling should be necessary. Do NOT rap to the Death Slabs from the cliff. If you can't walk down, head further up the gully before turning right. Once in the gully, there are minimal route-finding problems. The obvious trail will be found about the same time you're passing under Astroman.
