King Rudi, in Box Canyon.


Description 

Hike up to the left side of King Rudi. Climb an obvious crack that delineates the left side of the tower. After 30 feet, move right and continue up blocks, cracks, and ledges to the notch between the tower and the wall behind. This first 120 feet or so is best done as 2 pitches because of rope drag. P3 climbs a bolt ladder, then stops shy of the summit. We used a long cheater stick to drape a sling over the summit. There are rap anchors on top.


Protection 

Full rack.
Big-ass cheater stick.
