Beautiful hand traverse

Traversing among amazing scenery

Hand traverse. One of the easier traverses, as friction on the slab is good.

First tower traverse on south side. Moving into the chimney towards Piton Pitch. Tagging the pack off belay loop here was helpful. Was able to link this into Piton without too much rope drag.

Simuling from Tiger Tower
