The best climb ever!
This was a blast. I didn't find a crux...it's super easy. You can sew the crack up with passive gear. You don't need anything larger than a 2. Lots of fun. Chains at the top.

Very cold breeze day, so we had the Tower all to ourselves.

Beautiful Route
I've been wanting to get on this one for a while, so sweet for the grade. I love that the top is just about vertical for about 25 feet, but the jams are SO good.

Top Rope ascent by:

Add in a fun bouldering problem by starting from the ground. And as always, throw a high heel hook at the topout to step up the gnar-factor!
