Description
This is a fun route that ascends the ridge opposite the road on Outhouse Tower (aka - The Camels Head).
Pitch 1) Slab climb up the obvious seam to a crux at a steeper corner/slab feature with a pod sporting the famed "chopped" steps. Belay at 2 bolts.
Pitch 2) Climb directly above the belay clipping 4 bolts to the summit. Belay at 2 bolts.
Rap the route with 1 70m rope (2 raps). A 60m would likely work, but you'll need to down climb a short portion of 5.5 slab.
