Description Suggest change

Techy gem hidden up in the chimney leading to Tore Down. First bolt on p1 is up high on the right after ~25' of 4th class. 9 more bolts cross over the approach pitch to Jaws of Life (shared bolt replaced with ASCA hardware) with a short sequential crux leading to anchor hooks on a sloping ledge (10c, 30m).

Pitch 2 (11b/c, 20m) tackles the steep, blank-looking orange headwall following a shallow dihedral with several engaging technical cruxes. 8 bolts to hooks at the top of the wall.

The pitches can be linked with 18 draws and ideally a little extension and back-cleaning, but there is a crux right above the intermediate belay ledge with a slab of sorts below and your belayer out of sight. If linked, can lower to the first anchor of this route or to the midway anchor of Jaws of Life (more comfortable ledge) with an 80m rope.

Protection Suggest change

p1: 10 bolts, 30m, hook anchor (5.10)

p2: 8 bolts, 20m, hook anchor (5.11)

Tie a knot in the end of your rope!

Location Suggest change
