The Opportunity of a Lifetime

Goes more behind Orc Tower than on it.

Start from the ledge of "cream of the country", also the start of the second pitch of "116 orc tower road". Crawl through the hole accessing the seldom visited Orc Tower chamber room. Make your way to the back pedestal and get ready for some action.

P1: 10b Wild stemming protected by a thin crack on the main wall leads to a massive roof. Traverse left (west) and then up through a flaring fist crack to the notch between Orc Tower and the wall. A two bolt belay is on the Orc Tower side.

P2. 9 Traverse west out of the gap and onto the wall, joining the upper hand cracks of what is probably Orc Wall (rusty pins were spotted at the alcove down and to the left of the obvious triple cracks at the top of the wall). Follow the crack.

A fine route with a high dose of adventure. Cool even on the hottest of days.
