Description:
An absolute neglected classic- one of the best routes in Red Rock. Every pitch has something unique to offer. Start about 300' right of Our Father, deep in the gully somewhat before a steep section. On the left hand side, about 10' up is a bolt in a dihedral. This is your route. P1: Climb the dihedral to the top, then step left around the arete to a belay. 50', 5.10 P2: Climb up and right, following bolts through a roof, then up the dihedral to the base of an obvious ramp and belay. 60', 5.11a P3: Climb the ramp to belay. 60', 5.10 P4: Follow the bolts out right, then up the slab to a ledge. 50', 5.11 P5: Head left toward the corner above, then up the corner to a large, sloping ledge. Climb up some loose blocks on the backside of the ledge to the summit. 140', 5.7Descent Options:

One of the really nice ones
Four Pitches of nice anxiety free climbing. There is no anchor after the crux. The way off is fairly easy to find. Go up and then tend right accross some exposed slabs. A bit of fifth class down climbing to a rappel tree. Then 4th class downclimbing. Trend right.
