Description

Use the same start as Dark Tower but stay on the left arete/edge instead of traversing right.  Carefully and delicately work the left palm smears.  The crux of the route is maintaining the balance without barn dooring.  The climbing is excellent and exciting.  I personally would put this route in the top 10 for 5.11s at Mount Rushmore.

Location

Same start and approach as Dark Tower.

Protection

7 or 8 bolts. 2 bolts top anchors.
