Description Suggest change

Climb under a low roof with a piton, and up a clean, right-leaning, left-facing ramp with a seam in the back, then over a second overlap. Angle right on easier terrain to a higher, easy roof with a great jam (Futile Laments), and then follow the arete where the south face joins the west face to the large ledge.

Location Suggest change

The Uplift climbs directly under the arete where the west and south faces of the Wind Tower meet.

Protection Suggest change

A piton in the first roof, tiny TCUs, small nuts, beaks and camhooks above, and shallow but passable #0.5 Camalot out right gets you through the crux.

A ground fall is possible even if the gear holds. Above the overlap, the difficulty eases and many bomber placements ease the mind.
