Description

Begin in the wide, somewhat crumbly crack that leads to a right leaning crack that leads to a short face section beneath the roof on the north face. Cross under the roof to the right and face climb on good rock past ample protection to the broken vertical crack to the top. Gear belay from a comfortable ledge. Then, belay your partner to the rap anchors which are placed on the north face directly above the beautiful arete that faces Proto Pipe. We will develop the arete and other cracks below the rap anchors soon.

Rap anchors have quick links and chain links in place.

Location

Uphill from Tower One, it can be accessed by going up the gully directly uphill and slightly north. This tower shows up nicely in the area photo.

Protection

Double rack of cams to #4. If you have 2 #4's you can use one at the base and one at the top to protect the final crack, though neither are absolutely necessary as there are options (the ground up FA was done without them, but they'd be comforting).
