Comments: Fun approach to a local summit. Watch for loose rock in steep areas. sign summit log on top before working you way north east to r1.
R1.Could use edge protection on anchor as it rubs a sharp edge. inspect, adjust, replace, or even better cut a piece of 1 inch webbing and place over the anchor where rub occurs.
R2. run out the 200' to solid ground. have first man pay out rope on r1&2 to avoid rock fall or rope damage. watch for tree on bottom of r2 and pull from ledge ldc to avoid rubbing on ledge and potential loose rock. fiddle stick reccomended on r 1 and r2.
R3. tread lightly on loose terrain to the $$ ledge located RDC. bolts are solid and this rapp is slotty and canyon like.
watch for loose debris at top of downclimbs.
This route will be fun for those with experience, and scary for noobs. After R2 you have committed to the route and turning around or escaping will be close to impossible. Be sure to have an experienced leader and appropriate gear. Dry conditions reccomended as the already existing loose rock makes this an r-rated dry canyon.

Comment: We had an amazing time on this route! We started around 1pm and were down to the exit hike at sunset. All anchors were in good shape. We did have some difficulty with the pull on the second rap. There are several bushes and cacti in the way. We fiddled this rap and while pulling, the toggle got stuck in one of those bushes. We were able to free it using body weight but it did take some time. This rap would be better if someone cleaned up the fall line. I highly recommend this route. We will definitely do it again. It offers some amazing views with an engaging approach that might be too difficult for those new to the sport. Excellent job Lars and Eric!

Comment: Very fun, interesting, and unique route with a super cool slotted area.
The approach from Broken Arrow is very pretty and the trails are easy to move through with lots to see. Once off the main trail there is a side trail that is easy to follow right up to the 4th class terrain near the summit. There is a long piece of webbing installed to help you up the first climb. The 4th class nearly vertical terrain is super fun and engaging but riddled with lots of loose rock that can dislodge easily. Extreme care is required here, foot placement is critical, and helmets strongly recommended! The panoramic views were fantastic! Once to the summit we found the 1st anchor soon after but the webbing was very sunburnt and we decided to downclimb to R2 as it wasn't very difficult to do so. R2 drops you past 1 prominent ledge and you must stop at the 2nd more prominent ledge (after the free hang). After traversing around ledge you are greeted with an amazing slotted canyon view and more loose rock downclimbing. This is a super cool section of side ledges along a tall, downward sloping slot, very fun!! This area is a total wind tunnel with big gusts making throwing rope a challenge! All anchors were good except for the 1st that we bypassed. Short drainage up to exit trail which was again easy and pretty.

Comment: FD: Finding our way into the alcove/slot from the upper bit took a little route finding. The potential for rock fall up top is high. Definitely stick to the route which is pretty clean. Subsequent trips should be much more efficient and enjoyable. R2 is fantastic just make sure to slowly keep RDC as you make your way over the first few ledges. once into the alcove/slot the views are stunning. much cleaner from here on down.
