Description Suggest change

Exciting arête climbing that keeps coming at you. Sure, you get a little rest atop the pedestal, but this route can be deceptively difficult. The crux is definitely after the sixth clip (first bolt after the two pins). Some desperate, committing moves will get you to the top, if they hold. Relatively clean for the Hellgate.

Location Suggest change

On the arete of Tower Two. A 60 meter rope will get you down to the ramp inside the "Shooting Gallery" between Towers Two and Three. Otherwise, climb to the top of the tower and use the Anchors for Social Realism to get down.

Protection Suggest change

8 bolts, 3 pins and a 2 bolt anchor with slings. Bring 11 QDs and a helmet.
