Description 

Climb up and clip the first two bolts on the face to the right (2nd pitch of Eye-Full Tower). Use of a long runner on the second bolt will help with any rope drag. Traverse to the right across and up the lower angle ramp in the middle of the face to the corner to the right and continue to the belay anchor (hanging) just below the summit rim.

Location 

Variation starting at the first pitch belay station of Eye-Full Tower. Rappel the route taking care to watch the rope ends and ensure you can get back to the first pitch anchor (a guided lower or rappel works fine).

Protection 

Bolt protected. Belay anchor is at an uncomfortable non-stance. Recommend carefully lowering the leader back to the 1st pitch belay anchor (first pitch of Eye-Full Tower).
