This is the top anchor, at the end of several meters of super slab. Third bolt is out of the photo. Lots of room to stand comfortably, or sit if your anchors are long enough. Lots of choss, be super careful not to start a pebbleslide.

Just starting the climb, looking east. Red is Tower 1, blue is Tower 2, purple is Tower 3.
Every anchor has 3 good bolts. Anchor 1 (this photo) has some semi-sitting room, Anchors 2 and 3 are essentially hanging, anchor 4 is nice and roomy and flat. Just damn high.

How about not kicking anything around from any height? Jun 28, 2017

I think that's a great philosophy.

I've updated the caption to indicate what I really meant, thanks for pointing out that a clarification might be needed. Jul 5, 2017

Looking down from the tippy top. You can see that the last few meters of pitch 4 are more of a steep hike than a climb.
Us on the deck. First bolt is in the red circle, second is 11 o'clock of that. There are additional bolts that wander off to the right, which I've been told is Walking With Giants.
Hellgate Condominiums is the red arrow at the bottom. The beginning of the climb is the red dot at the top. <br> <br> You can park anywhere in the red circle, then follow the blue line for 30 feet up the unimproved road, then take the trail and follow the red line up to emerge just south of Tower 2.
Great view from Anchor 1. Snowbird included.

One of a few bolts on pitch 1 that are unsavory
