Description
This is a cool link-up connecting West Face and Tiger King. Clip the last bolt on West Face before the anchors, and move up and left to the Tiger King roof, and continue up that route. It has slightly easier moves than the start of Tiger King, but it is more sustained and maybe a little better overall. This could be 12d or 13b, I don't know.
Use long draws on all the West Face bolts, as well as double draws on the Tiger King roof section to help with drag higher. Once you've pulled the roof, it's helpful to unclip the draw above the roof.
The ultimate hard person link-up is to start on Hoodang Hoedown and traverse into West Face/Tiger King. Heck, just keep moving left across the whole wall and end on Uncle Dad, or downclimb a bit to finish on Horsefly Hootenanny. Just make sure to do it on a busy Saturday.
