Description
I heard someone say once that heroes are made by the paths they choose, not the powers they possess. Its very possible someone said this immediately after climbing this route? A thrilling jaunt up
Tower Three
,
Heroes are Zeros
is mentally taxing line and an adventure of epic proportions! While route finding here isn't the crux, there is a fair bit of wandering and a brutal sequence that requires the right path.
Start the route up a shallow channel of choss and climb to a high first bolt. Pull a large roof/bulge, then work up and right over various, varied terrain. Find the crux near the line's 3/4 mark and finish at a two-bolt anchor.
A bit pumpy at times, highly technical at others,
Heroes are Zeros
offers a little bit of everything. Some of the rock is solid, some of the rock is questionable? Its all part of the territory. A wild, creative line worth doing at least once.
Location
Heros are Zeros
is located on the front, south face of
Tower Three
. Its the wild, twisting line, marked by large huecos at it's base.
Protection
Bring a mixture of 14-16 draws and slings for short and long clipping. Supplement the fixed protection with a range of small wired nuts. Climb to a two-bolt, sling anchor. A helmet is deemed necessary as is a 70 meter rope, its a stretcher!
