Starts in a 7" crack & follows various sizes of cracks, face & chimney climbing to the top in 10 pitches. There is a good ledge (bivy) at mid height. This is an outstanding route, with some sporty face climbing. Topo available at visitors center.
Probably the best route on The Watchman.
Descent: Hike off or rap route.
Location
Starts at the left third of the West face of The Watchman, in the 2nd major crack system left of a prominent, left-facing corner. See photo.
My advice would be to not even consider hiking off this route. The raps are very straightforward with no rope snag problems and great ledges/stances at each station.
