Stand start with a double undercling or sit start using the best holds on the outcropping at eye level. The crux is the start. The higher you get, the easier it becomes. This is an absolute classic for Montrose. It has very unique holds. There were signs that someone had climbed this (the single bolt at the top); however, I had never heard of climbing in this spot even after living in the area for 21 years.

Begin with your left hand on a left cling in the big hole and your right hand on the right side of the eye level outcropping. Climb up and to the left. Top out just to the right of the minor outcropping (on the top right of the face when looking at the face you first approach, the Northern Face). This was named after the two rusty, crumpled cans found at the bottom of the route.

Begin on the far bottom left corner. Layback with your feet on the small boulder down to the left, and use the small crack as hand holds. Get your feet onto the main boulder, and climb right until crack meets the ledge, then climb up. Top out right in between the split in the rocks (on the top left of the boulder).

Start on the bottom right, and climb up and slightly to the the left.

Start on the bottom right, and climb up to the right. This is a little crimpy.

Sit start using the ledge for hand holds. Climb left about 5 yards using the ledge for foot holds. Climb up and top out (the red dotted route).
