Cause for Alarm
Description This is a great, tightly bolted route on very good rock. Crux is pulling past the third bolt, followed by cruiser climbing up alternating corners.
Location South face of Tower 1 . Just to the right of Sinbad (Ruckman guide), which is the obvious giant left facing corner.
Protection 60 meter rope, Helmet, 12 bolts and a two bolt anchor.
Comments on Cause for Alarm
By Robert MacKinnon Jul 31, 2008 rating: 5.10b/c A fantastic route with variety and exposure! I agree that the crux is just after the third bolt and then the route eases up a bit, while the exposure increases.
By Zirkel From: Salt Lake City, UT Jul 31, 2008 Agree with above comment. WAY fun route -- diverse and exposed climbing. Stepping up to the anchors was wild. If you can find it, do it!
