Description

The Daily Planet is an amazing route originally ascended by Tommy Caldwell. The climbing is very board-like with sustained crimping and some pockets sprinkled in. It climbs through a chossy start as do most Fortress routes but gets better and better as you go. This is a must-do for Fortress aficionados. It is often dry when other things are wet.

Location

It is on the left side of the main wall.

Protection

10 bolts.
