Description Suggest change

Tiger King is a long-ish climb (14 bolts) just left of West Face with lots of varied terrain from thin face climbing to pumpy roofs.

Start with a powerful opening boulder problem to a ledge (pre-clip the first and/or second bolt), then engage thin crimping up the vertical face. The crux can be done on the right or left and made easier by then straying right onto West Face (we shared just one handhold on our ascent—which felt like 13b). The roof above is cool and dynamic, then easier terrain leads to a fun traverse along a handrail and a strenuous upper crux along the hanging bulge/arete.

The route has four permadraws to help with drag and cleaning, but extendo draws or slings are helpful in spots, especially at the upper crux at bolt 12.

Many thanks to OSMP and the FCC for making new routing possible in the Flatties.
