Description
This route wasn't in the book, but it's on the far right of the tower and is west-facing. Do a bouldery start off the small ledge, but it is easy to pre-clip the first bolt. Crank on good crimpers to gain the ramp - good luck being graceful - then continue up towards the anchors. This has fun and powerful climbing. I don't know what the official rating is, it felt like 11+ to me.
Location
Scramble up the hillside west of the tower and traverse out left onto the belay ledge. Anchor your belayer to the first bolt.
I did a top belay and then climbed up and over to set up top rope for
Babylon is Burning
. You could skip the anchors for this route and use
Babylon's
, but beware of rope drag. Bring a #2 to protect the [easy] moves above the anchor if you do.
Protection
8 bolts, 2 BA.
