Description
This is a good pitch on it's own but a better way to get to the Fortress of Solitude rather than hike the gully. You must climb The Grassy Knoll to get to the start of this route. After clipping the anchor of Grassy Knoll, move right across a ledge to an overhang where there is a fixed chain draw. Clip the chain then figure out how to navigate the overhang. Continue on to the bolted belay for Fortress of Solitude.
