Description Suggest change

This is the route that drew us upslope from Proto Pipe. It ascends the prominent sharp arete that gets you to the top of a hidden tower that has exceptional exposure. It's not really visible from anywhere because it doesn't skyline, but when we started exploring up above Proto Pipe this tower and route stood out. The rock quality isn't as good as we hoped and hence the 2 rather than 3 stars. 3 stars for the exposure and for getting to the top of this fantastic and improbably spire! Some tricky and heady moves, but mostly well protected climbing and we put bolts where the gear felt especially sketchy.

Location Suggest change

Upslope of Proto Pipe, ascend the sharp looking prominent arete that faces Proto and get to the top of a thin spires. Two bolt anchor with quick links and chains attached.

Protection Suggest change

3 bolts and a selection of at least a single rack, if not a double.
