I put this route up after I mended from a FX wrist. It was worth the effort An unusual bone white face of rhyolite just right of Geronimo's arete, this line shoots up thin face and even a crack move or two.

Winding your way up this two pitch arete is a great day out. The views alone are worth it. The new anchors make the rappel and semi-hangibg belay memorable.

Face climb .  You will find yourself searching quite a bit to the left or right of the bolt line for good hands.  The crux is just after the first bolt where one must pull over a bulge (or go around).  The middle third of the climb is substantially easier than the beginning or the end.

Ascend left side of the face.  The first move is the hardest.

The first bolt is rather high for someone who is climbing at this grade.  Likewise for the runout after the last bolt.  This route is accessible from either the bottom or the top.

Big, big holds up a vertical face.This would be an ideal first-timer route.

The bolted route climbs up the left side of the face, with steady climbing most of the route.  The crux is about 80% of the way up where the climber steps back out onto the face above an overhang.

 Frankly, the entire face is quite climbable, all the way up.

Follow crack/chimney up the face.  Bypass the roof near the top by going right.

This route ascends the the NW side of the pillar.  The start of the bolted route consists of pulling over a slight bulge on the north side of the pillar.

This iconic rhyolite cliff band is immense. It will become a great resource after RCM completes the land swap. The management plan has been approved and climbing is a recognized activity here.
