Description
Start on the west face of the small block directly in front of the Black Tower. There is a nice crack here that will take a small cam at about the height of the first bolt (for the purist in you). After surmounting the block, walk across the bridge and clip the second bolt. The bridge is what distinguishes this climb, especially considering that it looks as if it would collapse the moment you step onto it! Continue up rather steep face climbing through a spicy, but well-protected crux. Finish up and right to the anchor.
When rappelling, be careful not to get the rope stuck in the crack/flake to the left of the anchor.
