A rare face climb on Devils Tower, FRITZ'S FANTASY...


Description 

A great face climb up the Wiessner Column. Sustained throughout with a handful of cruxy moves and occasional rests. There are a few loose flakes to beware of. Overall it is excellent.

Belay from a bolted station a ways below the column and solo up wide cracks (or bring some large pieces) to the first bolt. Resist the temptation to stem to the neighboring columns!


Protection 

12 draws + anchor.

Is staying on the pillar contrived or does stemming make the route harder? If you can easily stem to other good holds and it keeps the route in the grade or makes it easier then stem, otherwise it is contrived and does not deserve 4 stars. Get your second to clean off the loose flakes next time.
