Old bolt en route.

The route.
Top section of South Tower Conn route from West Gruesome. You can belay from the horn, or the usual route is to go left to the summit chimney.
Butt shot but this shows the start if you end up in the 4-5 gulley, which adds some climbing to the route. Summer 05. Photo Aaron Costello.
