Description

Starts in a flared, bombay squeeze slot formed because the Green River Shale formation eroded out from underneath the red Tower Sandstone.

After about 20-30 feet, traverse left into a crack and flake system.

If they are still there, Larry and I placed a piton and bolt to use as rappel anchors.  Not safe after 50 years.

Location

Look for a flared, bombay squeeze slot near the middle of the South face.

Protection

Climbed on nuts and hexes WAY before cams.
