Description Pretty good route. Kind of funky off the upper ledge, but generally fun moves on steep rock.
Location Located to the left of the tower proper with big flakes off a big ledge at about the 3rd bolt.
Protection 8 or so bolts to chains.
Good Times

| Good jug haul warm-up/down if you are here to climb the harder stuff. |

| As you pull onto the big talus-covered ledge above the third bolt, be careful not to knock any rubble down onto your belayer. Cruxes are at the start (don't fall before you get to the first bolt!) and above the big roof. A good route that practically defines the word "bouldery." |

| This one is a prime candidate for rebolting. The first, second, and fifth bolts are all spinners, as well as one of the anchor bolts (open shut). The fifth (crux) bolt is projecting about 1/4" out of its hole, hanger spinning, and in suspect rock. Yikes! Good thing there are jugs everywhere up there. |

| Great, fun route that has obviously getting some heavy use. Today there were at least 2 spinners, and I had quite a large hold break on me up above the second ledge. |

| Awesome jug haul. If you are pulling on small holds you need to look harder. Crux is definitely before the first bolt. Get after it! |

| First move is scary on lead if this is at your level. Crux for me is sustained climbing and clipping of bolts after the ledge, |
