Description
A personal favorite, THWTS is a wild and thrilling mixed line up an altering face. Big and small edges, a thin crux, and thoughtful climbing make this a good, rewarding route. Turn around now? or say, "TO HELL WITH THE SCARECROWS!"
Follow a thin crack protected by cams. Move up and left towards holds on the arete, clip a bolt, pull the crux, and head up and right to a rest at a hairline crack and small ledge. Protect here with wired stoppers and continue up, passing one more bolt straight up the face. Finish at a chain anchor.
Intimidating from the ground, this is actually a great and well protected climb.
