Description

Start at the base of the west face of The Torch.

P1) Traverse right past a tips slot to a hidden hand crack. Take the hand crack to it's top and step left onto a small ledge. Get into the business with discontinuous fingers and off-fingers cracks. Belay from a large ledge at the top of the face. 5.11+ P2) Climb the #5 offwidth to the final ledge. Pass two bolts (sling them long) and stand on top of the "flame", barely two feet by one foot. Down climb the last moves and lower off of the final bolt (locking carabiner). 5.8

Four stars for the area for pitch one. Go to the top of the tower for fun.

Location

At the far right of the Sanctuary is a tower, freestanding on three sides, with a small summit block that looks like a flame in the late evening light. This is The Torch. More Witches is the series of discontinuous finger and off-finger cracks up the west face.
