Description

A fun but sort of spooky route. The most important reason I'm posting this is to alert others of the danger of climbing in the crack on the left(that doesn't reach the ground). On the FA I switched into this crack and placed a #3 camalot a few feet above the anchors that I ended up installing and climbed a body length above it only to feel the entire flake flex about 1/2". I got scared so I scuttled back down to my piece, took and placed the anchors. The climb is never run out but I wouldn't recommend protecting or jamming too hard in the crack on the left(or using it at all!).

Location

Starts on top of a large, soft pillar about halfway between the gully that separates Reptilian Right/Left and Don Iguana.(see picture)

Protection

Double rack with extra #4 camalots. Bolt anchors.
