Keeping climbing areas open and conserving the climbing environment

Description Awesome route, First 3 bolts are the start of leonids, then wanders off to the right up toward the tower. Has two hard moves at the top of Pitch 1. Traverse right onto Triton Tower. Then climb an exposed arete up, then back on to the left face. Tops out on the top of the tower then make a traverse left on to the platform.
Location Just right of Leonids.
Protection Plenty of Bolts, Well Protected

| Climbed this today in 2 long pitches using a 60 meter rope. From the anchor atop pitch one, I was not able to locate any obvious bolt line onto the tower. A 20 foot (5.6ish) nervy traverse over some loose blocks, grass, and smooth slab is required to gain the tower proper. I have attached a photo of the traverse, and you can clearly see the first bolt which is immediately right of the anchor (orange wire gate) and the very next bolt (rap station), which is no short distance away. A slip here would be nasty. I slung a small bush and placed a cam up high in some rotten rock; many shenanigans were involved to try and protect against a hideous pendulum onto the anchor.
The rest of the climb is easy face/arete with great holds and an awesome view.

| I should add, both those pieces were then back cleaned to reduce rope drag, which would otherwise have been awful. |
