The Original Route

FA Jon Butler, Jesse Harvey, 11/18-19/95

UPDATED 

Description

Pitch 1:

Climb the wide crack past two drilled pins to a big ledge and a bolted belay. 5.10+, 140'

Pitch 2:

A drilled pin gets you to the thin nailing crack which leads to a bolt ladder.  Falling on the thin nailing would be a very bad ledge fall a long ways from help.  (We opted to cheat and stick clip past some of the nailing, the first bolt has a hanger on it.) At the top of the bolt ladder mantel on to a ledge just below the summit and then mantel once more onto the actual summit.  5.7, A3+, 60'

Descent:

Rappel to the ledge and then to the ground.

Location

The Original Route starts on the uphill side of the tower and climbs the obvious giant flared chimney/OW crack.

Protection
