From the paved parking lot 1 mile west of the Beige Siphon Tube, walk west along the road for 90 feet to the obvious steep gully on the south side of the highway.  Hike up 150 feet to the base of the rock (The Beer Slabs).  Pitch one is run out if you don't bring supplemental gear and rated 5.8.  Pitch two up the face right or left, both ways are 5.10 and bolt protected.  Two rope rap to the base or two single line raps.

Pitch one - up thin slabs to a broken section with one bolt.  Wander up past (5.8) using small gear for protection to the big ledge.

Pitch two - up the leaning crack  (5.5) to the chains.  Rap 130 feet to base.

Crux is awkward left leaning start.  Good way to get to the chains to TR
