Description
Typical of easier climbs on this side of the Tower, the crux is the first couple of moves into the crack system which is visible on the arete. Climb up the dihedral start as for
West Overhang
, and reach left to the bottom of the crack to protect the beginning. Continue up through the small roof using the finger to hand-size crack. Above the roof, you can climb the face between
The Bomb
and the
West Overhang
with sparse protection or move right to join
West Overhang
. The face up the middle is low angle and well featured with exception of the last 15 feet or so. At that point, you can easily move off line and place pro in the
West Overhang
crack. The rock looks like it may be loose at the start, but based on my scientific hitting and kicking, it seems solid enough. At the top, traverse left to
The Bomb's
rap anchors. I believe this is the "Variation" route listed in Levin's guidebook at 5.6 R.
Location
This route is on the arete just to the left of
West Overhang
.
