Mister Mantle

The crux is about 1/3 of the way up the 1st pitch It is well protected and the fall (if you take one) is a relatively gentle pendulum. The climbing is steep and sporting! The moves are elegant with no giveaway sections. There is steep slab climbing to a mantle before each bolt. There is no way to dog any part of this pitch. You have to climb it! There is a large ledge to belay from. Pitch two is a hand/fist crack.

MM is on the left side of Block Tower. Ascend an easy chimney up to a large ledge with comfortable boulders. If you only do the 1st pitch bring some gear to rap although there is probably fixed stuff? If you do the whole climb, we walked off the back and down climbed the gully between Block and Poe.

Pitch #1 9 bolts (all drilled on lead from natural stances) and some intermittent gear. Belay takes hands size pieces . Pitch #2 is regular Platte rack (cams and nuts).
