Description:
Walk uphill to the west side of Hackberry Canyon across from Smoking the Toad. It is the tallest tower on that side of the canyon. First bolt is on the SE corner @ 15' off the deck; climb up holes and edges past second bolt then thin vertical cracks and horizontals to bulge (crux) and small roof above; easy wide crack with face holds and a slab top out make this a fun and varied route.Descent Options:
Rap off south side on rope w/60m.

Long and thought provoking
Two bolts to start then trad skills are brought into play. Lots of pro, horizontal and vertical. Wanders mostly up right side of southeast corner. Crux bulge then fun short hand-sized roof above. Marty's guide rates it 5.9; I thought it was harder and so did the other party.
