Please take note of the request for climbers to avoid disturbing raptors if at all possible.
Self-policing our behavior is MUCH better than an outright ban!

Description
Have you ever been rapping off the single-line Rockfellow descent and wondered about that zigzaging corner system calling out to you from Bastion Towers? Well, this is it. Three pitches of fairly awesome sport climbing on decent rock.
P1: climb the deceptively difficult slab below the zigzag corner to a nook belay on bolts (10+, 60')
P2: climb the strenuous and techy overhanging zigzag into a strange stem-groove-roof thing up and onto slab, then leftwards up slab and fun overhanging plates to bolt anchor (12-, ~100')
P3: traverse up and right through plates and crimps to bolt anchor on the low angle slab (11-, ~90')
Rap straight down to a a pair of metolius hangers, and then again to the gully between Bastion Tower and Rockfellow dome.This can be done with a single 60m rope.
