Second ascent by:
Karate Crack
Brad Stewart & I did the FA on this route on 2-25-86, according to an old topo. I told Brad about the route - he drew the short straw and got the lead. He graded it at 5.10b and after looking at the backs of my hands, I couldn't argue. Located about 300 yards north of the Outhouse Wall on the right (east) of the dirt road that leads from Willow Springs to the Red Rock summit. Nick Nordblum subsequently added a second pitch and graded it 5.11b.

Judo Chop
i'd say its closer to 40ft than 60ft. smaller hands would help on this one. starts off on some small gear and gets to hands midway for the top out. rappel anchors set around tree. good climb even in summer before 11am
