Greg on the sweet holes of Fox Trot
Description
Upon walking up to Fox Tower, about 96% of climbers will be saying "what route goes up those really cool hueco-monkey-bars?" That would be this route. Start just below and left of the huecos at a cleft, climb up and right out of the cleft to a pretty high first bolt (30'), then just follow the bolts up to the anchor. Crux is like the last bolt and crack (bring a large stopper) where the big buckets you've been swinging from disappear and you have to edge your way up the finish. Really nice route!
Location
Center-right of Fox Tower. Look for lotsa huecos.
Protection
7 bolts, bring a couple of large stoppers for the keyhole placement between the last bolt and the anchor. Two ropes required for the 165' rap.

This is like a slightly harder version of Malice in Bucketland. Great huecos and nice pulls. Put it on your list.

Nice climbing with a surprise finish at the end. The supplemental stopper certainly isn't required but was welcomed when I headed for the anchor. The route forces you to make the last move to hit the anchors. No low clipping alternative.
