Yellow route is Ashtar's Command Tower, while the ...


Description 

This undocumented route follows the face to the left of the popular Ashtar's Tower route. The anchors for both pitches share the standard rappel route off of the tower. There are a handful of run-outs between fixed gear, so bring a light rack.

P1: Start on the left arete of the tower and face climb up to the first bolt at 20ft. A medium size cam might help protect these moves. A few mid-10 moves lead to the right and a couple more bolts. A run-out on easier ground leads to the final mid-10 moves on thin face.

P2: The second pitch is obvious from the belay. Clip a handful of bolts along a seam to a hard move to the left. This is a short pitch. (50ft, ~5.11a)
