Introduction

An interesting slot that is about 100 - 200 feet long through Butte Granite. This slot has not been descended due to the high likelihood of siphons. Stemming is unlikely, so this route will have to rely on traverse lines. Even if not descending, its worth checking out if you're camping in the area.
