Smoot Route

This route begins from a large ledge on the north side of the tower. Climb the very soft slab to a stance. Go up the soft corner to the traverse, then up the headwall to a bolted anchor.

The route is extremely soft. The pins I placed were often removed by hand. The only time I felt a fall would be caught was when two pieces were placed together and equalized.

North west side of the tower.

I took a few peckers, a couple of L.A types, and a host of angles up to 3/4. As I tried toplace double friends where ever I could get in one, I recomend at least a double set from .5 to 3. One big piece, like a 6, might make the softness at the top more easy, though its not necessary. A single rope reaches from the summit to the ledge
