View ~W from
#3. Ridge is
not flat! The
rock seems good,
but peels off in
huge chunks
|

~SSW from

went R around
this and found
a relatively brush-
free path.
|

Nominal cl 4
that I could have
avoided by going

Looking S to 7211
from near #6.
From this side,
stay R to base
of cliff, then L up
ramp to hidden
break in cliffs
|

Near #6. This
rock is not like
others in the area,
and may be a very
old sign of visitation,
marking route
between agave
roasting areas.

For the patient:

Note the hypothetical
blue dashed line
for an easier descent.
