Cowgirl

A fine climb up the east face of

Bath Rock,

this route is a classic romp and a must do for every

City of Rocks

visitor. Easily the best line,

Cowgirl

is primarily solo'd and "juggy" in nature, expect minimal protection. The climbing is very forgiving and offers a relaxed outing with plenty of opportunities for rests.

Begin with an easy pitch on the east face's mid-left side. Locate a large, prominent crack (

Easy Way Up

) and start on the face below the end of this crack. Saddle up here and head straight into a large scoop. If using a rope, build a belay at the base of the steep face, or continue climbing. Ascend the steep face ending to the left of a large tree.
