Comments: Great route indeed - highlight of a day spent on the lower tower. The location is awesome with amazing views that add some exposure and excitement to this short route. True to the rating, nice horizontal cracks where you need them, good feet, good protection to be found (used 2 nuts, 3 s/med cams). For pure enjoyment, best 5.7 I've been on in awhile.

Comments: If you're headed to the lower tower, make this your first stop. Fun route on solid rock, straightforward, nice anchors and great views back up the canyon. You can TR Crack of Don from these anchors if you really want to; nothing to exciting there. The trail from the road is in great shape and obviously is well cared for by the property owners.

Few wasps there to greet us on top; take a peek before you sink into any of those big pockets :) Very little pro on the face; lead the Crack, TR the face.

Comments: As many of the previous posts advertise this is a great place to bring beginning climbers. Fun routes with nice diversity (West Crack, Face, Dihedral) and exposure. We did encounter some wasps near the top of the Crack and Face; hanging about in some of the pockets. Approach is more difficult than the climbing but the ledge comfortably held 3, fairly big guys ... plenty of space once you arrive. NOTE: a 50M rope WILL toprope the crack off the cable anchor to the belay ledge with ple... more >>
