A 5 Star Beauty...The route that is !!! Psycho Tur...


Description 

Located 100 or so feet left of Carol's Crack on the north end of the west face. Felt like El Matador's big brother: technical stemming on lichen with no rests unless you have Lance Armstrong's calves.


Protection 

2 sets of RPs and small and medium nuts with Friends up to #1.5

Stongly consider double ropes for this route or take 10 to 12 over-the-shoulder-length slings as the protection is on two separate crack lines. Another understated Tower classic.

Simply amazing! Some of the craziest stemming I've ever encountered! Fun TR, would be a demanding lead!
