The Hermit

The Hermit ascends the roof crack to the right of "

The Tower

."

This climbs the Black Canyon-esque 5.9+ crack system to the right of "

The Tower

". Climb with thoughtful gear up to the splitter rock in the roof crack. Head left into "the tower" nook, plug in gear, and hang at a full no hands rest. Suss your sequence, then fire up the boulder problem through the roof (crux). Pull over on cool chickenheads, then continue up the discontinuous 5.9+/5.10- climbing on gear in the crack above the roof for another 45 or so feet past another mini-roof to the anchors of "

The Tower

". This is the scruffier, more difficult version of "

Thunderdome

; in Boulder Canyon. It is a fun trad challenge amidst all the sport-clipping in the area.

Alternatively, you could climb "

The Tower

" up to the roof, place a couple long slings on the last few bolts, and pull the roof as a fun mixed climb with a few pieces and some traversing before and after the crux roof.

It climbs the crack system to the right of "

The Tower

" through the large roof.

This is easily toproped from

The Tower's

anchors with a couple directionals.

Gear - smaller/mid-sized stoppers are useful, double rack from C3 00 (or equivalent) to #2 cam, and slings for the roof.
