Description:

Start at small two tier caves, second bolted line from Beehive Crack, look for the second bolt up high on a sloping shelf. Up a route finding adventure on typical Camelback hardened slabby mud. It is thoughtful and will clean up nicely. First Pitch finishes left on bolts, stay low to anchors. Pitch two has some runout on crusty but easy rock. Use long slings to minimize rope drag at key spots. Pitch three traverses down and right to sole bolt. Head up to single bolt and lower to Palo Verde; belay your second on single bolt above you.

Descent Options:

Walk up and right (cairns) to get into the gully above. This heads uphill to Hart Route. Continue up the gully to top, drop down and left to top of Pedricks Chimney. Rappel with 60m on single 1" Ring bolt.
