Uncle Tom has it in his write up on Eardley Canyon. He refers to it as “The Drama Queen Start.” He also says:
Tom Jones wrote: The harder 5th class approach listed here is for the more hearty, but really is not very good so is not worth the effort… This is the 'Drama Queen' entrance requiring some rapping, sketchy anchors and dicey scrambling... The canyon is narrow and potholed and can present problems - avoid the potholes with creative scrambling, and be sure to avoid that last keeper hole...

| Hyde Draw is very easy for a technical canyon. There is one drop with a small buried chockstone anchor, and then the keeper pothole. Everthing else can be bypassed or down climbed. The keeper is bypassed on the right via small bush/baby angle. No bolt kit is required. |
