Description:
Megamahedral is a high-quality route that climbs Minotaur Tower. Cross the river and follow the path of least resistance up the steep slope to the south side of Minotaur Tower. Scramble up the slabs and set a belay in an alcove below the giant right-facing corner.

P1: 5.11- 56m. Move right into the wide crack and up the right-facing corner. This is fantastic pitch on very good stone!

P2: 5.10+ 45m. Continue up the corner starting with offwidth, tampering down to tight hands.

P3: 5.11- 55m. Climb the beautiful hand crack and move right to another crack when it thins. Follow the nice crack to a short rightward traverse to a two bolt belay in a left-facing corner.

P4: 5.9 40m. Climb the sandy slab up to a bolt moving right to discontinuous cracks on right face. Belay at large ledge or continue up.

P5: 5.7 10m. Climb chimney between summits and then up the dirty summit slab.

Protection:
One set stoppers. Double blue alien to #5. One #6. Bigbros would work well but definitely not necessary. 2 ropes, 60m minimum.

Also, the route is 5.11-. No PG13. Very safe by the Zion standard.
