This is a classic Vedauwoo flared hands testpiece on a gorgeous overhanging wall.

Start on two obvious horizontal finger slots about a foot apart. A few flowing moves on slopers, jugs, and pinches lead one to the base of the horrible flared crack. The sequence that follows feels like pure levitation magic.

The name is from the wall around the climb, which due to the pattern of raised black stripes and water streaks of lichen looks like an artist's rendition of interactant light cones. It also happens to be an accurate descriptor for the crux moves on this climb.

Climb cracks in a big dihedral, passing bushes and flared jams (crux) before trending right to lower-angled cracks and a topout.  Walk off to the climber's left.  This is the best of the easy routes at Coyote.

This is a very nice crack climb!  It is a very right-arching, flared splitter on a lightly overhanging wall.  Start out on a decent tight hand and climb into ever thinner jams as you move up the arch, encountering one bomber finger lock along the way.  At the end of the arch, you will find a decent rest before some more hard moves to get established in the vertical upper crack.  One or two more hard moves at the top of the vertical section lead to a thank god hand jam on the shelf above the climb.  There is one section that is particularly brutal, but aside from the first few moves the climbing is difficult and sustained throughout.  Also, hanging on to place gear is especially difficult in some spots.  The rock, movement, and general aesthetics of this climb are absolutely top notch in my opinion.

The first section (the right-facing dihedral) is probably hard 5.8 but is surprisingly awkward in positioning despite the low angle. The second section I would recommend to split into a another pitch by belaying in the alcove - it requires a traverse left over to the crack that start with hands and opens way up to larger than fists, this section is the crux and seems to be somewhere around 5.9. From here, there is a big ledge where you can pass through to the otherside of the formation to walk off or keep going up another pitch (directly to the right) to the very top of Coyote Rocks via another ramping, right-facing dihedral, short squeeze chimney and a few face moves. This section is more casual and goes in the 5.6 range. It has a nice 360 degree views of surrounding area, Eagle Rocks, etc.... There is a large chockstone that should still be slung with webbing and 2 oval biners to rap off the back side of the formation. A 60 meter is recommended, but I believe a 50m will make it.

Above the bouldering to the northwest there hosts a handful of obscure lines on Coyote Rocks. At the far left end of the formation is a nice warm up that can be lead or done solo.  Starting out on the face in the corner head up a wide crack to a ledge and then on to a nice hand crack to the top.

This is a  slap climb approximately 75-80 feet long. It starts with a couple  of semi chimney moves to gain the face.  It moves climber's right toward an arête. The route  then moves to the left over a couple of boulders.  The second half the route follows the middle of the slab to the anchors.

This is an obvious splitter. It is easy for the first 25 feet of climbing to bulge. Traverse right to a flake. Work around the bulge. The crux is a high step, hand foot match on the only hold on the face to 2 bolt anchor. This is fun, easy climbing.

Climb a wide crack (crux) to a small corridor to a hand crack.  Top out at the same point as
