Wind Tower Slab, 5.9X, is just right of Calypso. The crux is near the top.
TR with John, but we looked at how we could lead it. The crux is the top, and it has good pro. The bottom section is also harder, but the pro is after it. The problem is the next 40 feet of no pro for the 5.6 climbing before you get a small crack.

Someone on Tagger, Calypso, and Wind Tower Slab. It is possible to lead this, but there is a big runout on the bottom half of the climb.
