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.

With Mark Butler
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.

Sail Away
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!
