First ascent: John Heiman, late 1990s
Description
The center line on the crag. Begin from an unnecessary cheater stone and campus up into the crack system. Laybacks and pockets... laybacks and pockets... repeat until reaching a small roof and rest. Easier climbing above the roof leads to an anchor. I employ 5 kneebars with my right leg - pad recommended.
Access
Parts of the range are the Mt. Charleston Wilderness, where motorized equipment isn't allowed: no power drills. Dogs must be leashed at trailheads. Campfires are banned year-round within a mile of homes in Kyle and Lee Canyons, and the Forest Service adds seasonal fire restrictions in summer, so check before you go.
