Description
The beautiful seam just left of Beacon Tower.
P1. 10c . 80'
Climb the first pitch or wild turkeys to a slopping ledge. Standard beacon crack in a corner.
P2. 13a. 120'
The money pitch. Climb off the belay with an interesting stemming move and into the seam and corner above. Technical and thought provoking, this pitch has some of the best climbing I have found at beacon.
Originally an old TR. As the lore goes the route 'may or may have been climbed clean on TR'. After TRing the route last summer with Matt, I decided to give it an attempt on all natural gear- I bailed halfway up the climb realizing that the route, particularly the upper section, needed bolts to be safe
This route now sports 6 new bolts protecting the cruxes and is a safe, yet demanding lead.
Get after it!
