Heading south from the dirt road toward the base of Little Picacho Benchmark.

Avoiding a big rock fin by keeping to the east (left) side.

The slope led to this Class 2 gully.

Toward the top of the Class 2 gully, view back the way we came. You can see the rock fun we avoided just left of center in this photo.

Top of the Class 2 gully where we made a hairpin turn at the base of the cliffs on the right.

Wrapping around the cliff base.

Short slope leading to the crux headwall.

Matt at a Class 3+ crux move to get into a small overhang cave feature. Just above Matt is the final Class 4 move. The holds were amazing, but the exposure severe.

Scary moves on the cliff face. You can sort of see the Class 3+ move on the left. This shot is from just before the Class 4 crux move, Matt is hanging out in the small overhang cave feature.

Matt navigating the Class 3/4 terrain, shot taken from within the overhang cave feature.

A shot of the Class 4 move past the cave feature. The shot is awful because I was terrified and hardly thinking about taking a photo, oops.

Matt pulling the Class 4 crux.

Above the crux, Class 2 to the summit of Little Picacho Benchmark.
