Esmerelda

A quality arête route. Clip a very well-placed bolt just over the roof at the blocky start before going into the thin, technical crux of the route getting up to, and past, the second bolt. Then enjoy fun face and arête climbing to the anchor. The route steepens near the top but the holds are juggy making for some great position and moves.

This is the next to last bolted route on the far end of the wall, just left of the route Leave it to Bob which has gray hangers. It's easily identifiable by the undercut, blocky start to the nice arête above.

5 bolts to a two-bolt anchor. Like many of the anchors at Dead Cholla, there are no lowering chains on these anchors. We just left our draws on the bolts and grabbed them from the top on our way out. On this route, it's a bit of a stretch to grab the draws from the top but there is another set of bolts up on top so one could set a TR very easily.
