Kronos

The second route on the Titan climbs the tower’s imposing east face.  From the start of the Ward route, scramble south then east to reach the base of the east face, and walk north along a short ledge to find a single bolt marking the start of the route.  The first pitch climbs up and left, then back right on steep cobbles before reaching a band of poor, black rock and the route’s crux.  Above, move hard right to a good ledge where the angle and quality of the rock decrease, then clip one bolt and work back left, slinging a chicken head or two to the top of the first tower.  Step across the gap to the main tower and a bolted belay on a comfortable ledge (55m).  From the ledge, climb straight up to a ramp, follow the ramp left around the arete (taking a moment to savor the incredible exposure), then climb straight up to a ledge below the final roof. Pull the roof on its right side, clip the last bolt, then cruise easy terrain up and left to the summit, and the West Face anchor.  Rappel the West Face.
