Description

One of the better 5.9 routes I have climbed in the Superstitions. The rock is good and the protection is always available. The first pitch is around 90 feet if you belay in the obvious alcove (also the start of the second pitch of The Anonymous) and the second pitch is a little bit longer. The third pitch has many options and takes you to the summit.

Location

The start is almost directly below the "window" of the formation. The start is the same for the route The Anonymous. The route should be very obvious from the base and while on the approach. You can either rappel of the summit (west side), walk off the "window ledge" belay to the south and back to your packs (20 minutes of walking) or do three single rope rappels back to the base/packs after you locate the rap anchors near the top-out for Rockabilly.

Protection

One or two bolts depending on how you finish the upper pitch. Cams to #4 and nuts. Bolted belay on the "window ledge" and bolts to rap off the summit.
