Looking up pitch 2 (10a) of Fistful of Steel. The route follows a crack system that leads to the split in the roof (crux) on the right side of the frame. You can preview the whole route on rappel. Gear is a little tricky leading up to the roof, however, the gear in the roof is great.<br> <br> If you aren't up for the first 10d pitch of Fistful of Steel, you can do the first pitch of Iron Age (5.8)<br>

The three sets of anchors on top of the Anvil.
Taken from The Watch Tower, I believe The Anvil is right of center with nice sun/shade contrast across its' striking arete. But I have not climbed there so let me know if this is not The Anvil. :)
