Route 1 of 7 from left to right on Upper Level - Right, with Livin' on Borrowed Time on its right. Upper Level - Right has 7 routes, from 5.7 to 5.11c; 3 are harder, and 1 other is the same grade.
First ascent: Steagall, Sandefur, Werner, & Sobocan - 1990
Description
Perhaps the best route in the Black Corridor - it is the obvious line that sits at the mouth of the upper section. It begins on a terrace then climbs up steep, heavily-chalked huecos.
Protection
Four bolts to a lower off.
Access
The 13-mile Scenic Drive requires a timed-entry reservation October to May and has seasonal gate hours. Calico Basin and Kraft Mountain sit outside the Scenic Drive and need no reservation.
Wet rock: Aztec sandstone loses much of its strength when wet. Do not climb for at least 24 to 48 hours after rain or snowmelt, or holds break off and routes are permanently damaged.
