Description

Start on an excellent and deep pocket right above your head while standing up and pull hard. Find good feet first on the left, then the right, and move upwards to a nice and sandy (but good) jug with your left hand. Move through crimp jugs/crimp rails through to the top-out.

Location

Go over Gate's pass traveling west/southwest out of downtown Tucson. You'll drive by the main parking area for Gate's Pass proper and see a parking area farther down the road on the left. The boulder face is the most shaded looking boulder hallway down the slope towards the pass itself. You should pass through a few drainages (and a few cholla fields) before making your way to the sandy base of the boulder face.

Protection

1-2 pads and a brush to clean a little.
