Can i set up a TR on space walk at eagle lake cliffs from the top? I am thinking about going there alone before some friends come out and want to try it on TR solo. Thanks in advance!

As I recall (~10 yrs ago) the anchor for Space Walk is lower, and climber's left from the closest anchor (top of chimney) on top of the formation that you would use for TR solo. You'd want a directional in the lower anchor, as well as a couple in the crack itself. If you climb up past the lower anchor, there's some pendulum potential, but the climbing is easier there.

Update if anyone stumbles on this thread; easy to walk around and set up TR from second set of anchors above or some gear in a crack if you dont want to get too close to the edge. The direct line is so good

also its dry right now and is in the shade until about 2
