Description:
Bolted line goes right up the gut of the tower 1 cave. super steep and exposed. Well protcted at the cruxes. Possibly the best route at the Hellgate. 60m works... barely... must be full 60m or 70m to be safe! Super Sweet!

I always fell off when you leave the wide over hung crack and traverse out left then up to the chains, until I found a leg jam for the no hands rest before the traverse. I did red point accept my leg hurt for a few days. To go straight up to the chains is a lot harder because the handholds are very crimpy and feel horrible after the pump factor.

I think the first crux down low on the slab is way forced climbing and not the natural line at all. I STEP A FEW FEET TO THE RIGHT AND CLIMB THE Short hand crack . so bring some hand sized s--- for this var.And definatly move left at the lip
