The going along "Tinaja Peak" is mostly on sandstone features like the ones seen above. Sometimes there are easy ramps and ledges that allow you to bypass difficulties; sometimes there are cracks that assist in climbing steep pitches; sometimes there are step-like breaks in the rock; and sometimes it's just you and friction against the sandstone. The climb has a lot of Class 3, and it is likely you will find some Class 4 situations, too; if things get harder, look for another way.
