Description Suggest change

Follow bolts in the beautiful water groove on the SE face. Consistent climbing on great rock with great protection leads to a small bulge and the crux near the last bolt. The last 30 feet is slightly easier, but quite thin and unprotected.

Cindy Tolle and Pete DeLannoy took turns drilling bolts on lead with a Bosch. After drilling the last bolt, Pete thought that there would be a bomber hand hold above from which he could drill an additional bolt, which turned out to be false.

A great view of climbers on this route can be had from the summit of the Hitching Post or the Thimble.

Location Suggest change

Start at the bolted anchor on the ledge above the Walt Bailey Chimney. Either jump the guard rail and thrash up the chimney with poor protection, or rap to the ledge from the Every Which Way But Loose anchor.

Protection Suggest change

6 or 7 bolts.

Descent can be made off either side of the Bell Tower with one rope, but watch the ends if descending N side.
