Description:
F.A. Ken Rose, Kenny Stern (1974) This climb may look kinda laid back but it is really good and sustained. Climb the long left facing corner to a small ledge, then continue up and left past a little steep part to a good ledge - about 125 feet of fun! Scramble about 30 feet to the top from here. Excellent rock and good pro.

Walk this way
Awesome route, started it out by singing Walk this Way by Aerosmith :)
I don't think the climb is any harder than 5.7. It's just very sustained. Great route though and the view from up top is amazing. From what I hear many variations exist for toping out on the second pitch. We went left up a polished face easily seen from the belay ledge. Rigging the belay here was tricky, but the anchor was solid. This is now one of my favorite climbs in the Wichita Mountains.

Ascent Note
fun route - though I belayed at the first little ledge so maybe didn't finish the "entire" route, though I was going by old guidebook. Ended up taking a direct line up/right from that belay, involving a steep unprotected mantle. Fun route. Beam led it w/Keving following, right before I did so I had the beta that I needed plenty of slings . . . which was pretty obvious. Protected well, though!
