Description This challenging and aesthetic route can be found on the left side of the Cloud Tower, just right of the Clod Tower route. It shares the first pitch with the Clod Tower, but then breaks right soon after to gain the obvious dihedral system off right. It follows this for 4 pitches before being forced into the gully at the top of the Clod Tower. From here, finish as for the Clod Tower
This route is named in memory of a good friend and mentor- JR Thompson (1953-2006)
Location This route starts just left of Crimson Chrysalis in the obvious large recess with an arching crack up high (Tiger Crack). 4th class until you reach a ledge, then ascend the back of the recess in a beautiful crack just right of Tiger Crack's second pitch.
Protection Double rack to 4", 5" optional.

| Descent: The best option is to rappel off the northwest side of the tower (fixed station) onto Crimson. Two ropes are required for this rappel.
Another option would be to rap back to the bottom of the last pitch and trudge up the gully to the top of Crimson. You'd have to leave a sling or two, though, as there is no good rap station back to the start of the pitch. |

| Why no R rating? From what I heard of the route there is some runnout 5.9 climbing above the crux. |
