One of the best 5.10 Alpine routes in the park

Spectacular day on one of the best routes I have ever done!!

This route is truly spectacular! The first half of the route has very good freeclimbing up to 5.11a with some great splitter cracks. After the free pitches you do a very exposed bolt ladder around an arete and onto the amazing headwall. The next two pitches are long and pretty sustained. A double set of HB offsets is very helpful. Include the very smallest and expect many moves in a row over tiny gear. A loweball was also extremely helpful for the crux near the top of the second difficult headwall pitch. These two pitches are amazingly exposed and make for a world class experience. There is a final short pitch to the top of the wall that has one or two moves of C2. rap the route.

This is a great pitch and very worthwile if in the area. good but small gear that can be a little pumpy to place.

One of the best pitches I've done at the tower.

This route is one of the classics of the Tower. 5 stars for sure!

Incredible! maybe the best single pitch route I've ever done.

awesome!

I used a #4 camelot at the top, I don't think a three would work. Short but excellent route.
