Description Suggest change

This challenging route has been described as the "hardest offwidth tower in the desert."

The four pitch route starts on the right side of the Sorcerer pillar linking up with the final pitch of the Sorcerer.

P1: (5.12-) 130' Starts as a chimney and transitions into 30' of splitter butterfly/calf-locks. The last 30' section is a challenging squeeze chimney. A sustained and technical pitch.

P2: (5.10) 75' Straight forward offwidth.

P3: (5.2?) 20' Weird traverse behind the tower to the original route.

P4: (5.11+) 80' This pitch is the original finish on the "Sorcerer." Intimidating chimney and squeeze to the top of the tower.

Location Suggest change

Starts on the right side of the "Sorcerer" and you rappel down the left side.

Protection Suggest change

From finger size up to Blue Big-Bros. The first pitch takes alot of #5 BD cams, and the final pitch is difficult to protect. All anchors replaced Spring 2010.
