Where Have all the Cowboys Gone

A modern Gaines classic. Hard to believe he's still finding such gems in a "climbed out" area like Josh.

P1- climb a hand crack in a slab (5.8) about 30' down (closer to the road) from the Iconoclast arete. Belay on a big ledge.

P2- Make steep face moves on incredible varnish straight up past 4-5 bolts (5.10+). After 50' or so the bolts wander left, and the rock becomes less steep and more frictiony. Make engaging slab moves straight up past several more bolts (5.10). Belay on another ledge. A classic pitch.

P3- Finish up moderate cracks to the top. Downclimb from the top or maybe work down and rappel near Space Mtn, etc.
