Description

This route is slighly overhanging with a complete variety pack of climbing along its 180'.

A short chossy approach pitch (5.7)leads to a ledge with a bolted station.

Pitch 2

-- At the bolted belay, a hand crack arches right. to  face moves to enter  a clean crack which is followed to near its end  A long reach to a crack (11-)  where it reaches a bolted belay at a stance.

Pitch 3

--off the belay  a few OW and fist moves climb past a good  bolt  and continue into  the clean bombay and flared chimney/slot with      fingers/face moves past a bolt. (11-) Above the crack widens enough to take a #4.5 or larger old style camalot near the exit. Continue up the corner to rappel anchors in a nice overhanging alcove below the top of the block

Descent:: a double rope rappel is needed to reach the ground... bring a tag line!  (pitch 2 belay anchors are likely unreachable from the overhanging rappel)

Location

This route is NOT on Space tower but is around the corner to the left. This overhanging block with a gash(the Maw) is visible from the cattleguard/fenceline just past the ice cream parlor. Anchors are visible.

Protection

good sized desert rack from 0.4- #5 camalots

(triples in #1-#3.5 ,   two #4 )
