Description
The Delicate Tiger delivers excellent excitement and commendable adventure. Scramble up easy terrain up to the imposing four and a half foot roof. Reach way out and make a series of five or six wild pumpy moves onto a nice set of jugs. After that first hard part of The Delicate Tiger is done, you can relax with 25 feet of vertical 5.6-5.8 up to a gap. Step right across the gap and continue up a line of bolts up enjoyable easier climbing.
Location
Far left side of the North Face of Midway Rock.
Protection
8 bolts, chains and lower off biners
Clip the first bolt with a long shoulder-length sling.
