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!

Red Point ascent by:

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
