I think we meant Pollo Picante because while the route is high and dry (seca) it is also kind of spicy. Start left of the bolt line on some small boulders to gain access to the bad ledge that forms the transition from sandstone to basault. Traverse right on the ledge (10 feet up!) to reach the first bolt (it is easier than it looks), then straight up from there. Fun movement with tons of exposure.

Wishbone

The obvious hand crack just to the right of The Other Side. A bit chossy and scant protection until reaching the crack but worth doing if you dragged your trad gear up with you.

Start on a slight overhang with not best holds. Follow a tough sequence (not so positive) through the first four bolts which is the crux, to easier climbing and a good rest at a shelf. Milk the rest and prepare for some sequential crimping on flawless rock up the slightly overhanging head wall to the anchors.

Start on some bad rock to a committing first clip then up onto good rock and some thin and balancy dihedral moves past two more bolts, then gain the slight overhang to a no hands rest on a shelf and then step left and continue up the arete and some stellar rock to the humongous pocket at the top for the anchor clip.

A nice warm up for the area. Scramble up a few blocks to start the climb.

The furthest left bolted climb in "The Other Side" area. A funky (hard) start to a roof trending right onto the face left of the prominent arete.

This was the "recovery route" established after Rick's broken clavicle (skiing) had healed and his Doctor had cleared him for "normal activity". Alas, the repetitive motion of cleaning and then bolting the route snapped the Titanium implant and re-broke his collar bone. The comment "I wish I hadn't done that" prompted the name. A tricky, long, and fun route with great exposure.

This wall exists about 100 yards or so to the East of Chicken Little Wall. It is sunny and hot in the summer.   Why did the chicken cross the road?   See
