Climb hands/thin hands to a knobby face past three bolts, and figure out how to get to the final, short hand crack. The rock is a bit friable but typical for Dos XX.

Jay's Route

Jim's Route

Oxbow

This route can be top roped or can be an exciting lead!  Start up a chossy crack that has less than optimal rock for gear.  Climb the crack and fun huecos to a stemming crux then go over an obvious roof protected by some hand gear, over & up a horizontal crack to the top anchors.  The roof may be the crux if you are shorter.  For most though, the crux is 10-15 feet off the ground on softer rock.  I used a badly placed green Alien for the crux moves, but a stopper would work better.  The rock quality and gear gets better as you go higher.

Yellow Pages

at East Animas, this is the next best beginner trad route in Durango. It is a little dirty but nothing compared to the Fishers!

This is a good, moderate, face climb with some cool features. Three bolts with a fairly moderate yet long run-out at the top lead you to a two bolt anchor.
