Description

The route is near the right end of Vista Del Sol.  Follow typical Dona Ana cracks towards a short pair of parallel cracks belaying before the cracks.  The crux of the climb is the parallel cracks.  

The 1st ascent was in 1981 wearing tennis shoes using hexes and nuts for protection.  The grade may be off but I doubt it is any harder than the rating and may be easier.  If would be good to get some feedback.

Protection

1st ascent was in the day of nuts and hexes. I am sure cams would be appreciated today. Descent was walk off the back.
