Descending Block Top

Description 

Steep crack climbing including free climbing and aid on big Friends stacked with wooden blocks (blocks were stashed at base). All likely would go free.

Location 

Find the prominent crack that splits the North face of Block Top Tower. Descend the route.

Protection 

Old style buttonhead bolts were placed on chimney pitch (pitch three) and belays, These should be replaced if they have not been already. Lots of big friends. We used home made friends (thanks to Greg) and big tri-cams stacked with blocks.
