Ancient Light, pitch 2. Climb the face past two bolts. Go up the left side of the pillar a short distance and step around to its right side. Climb to the top of the pillar, clip the third bolt, and layback over the roof. Continue up the steep face past two more bolts to the top. The hardest moves are at the last two bolts.<br> <br> I placed 5 cams ranging from a yellow Alien to a #3 Camalot.

Routes on the summit tower of Avalon. Approach via the first pitch of Ancient Light, or by a 4th-class scramble from the left.<br> <br> The second pitch of Ancient Light requires gear up to 3" in addition to the bolts.

Ancient Light, pitch 1. The lower part of the route is a little dirty, but the upper part is clean, steep, and airy.
