Description

This is a spectacular variation finish to

Tolle Route (aka Guide's Route)

. Exposed, technical liebacking and stemming up a crack for 50 feet gains a beautiful, bolt protected face. The face, while imposing, has plenty of features to keep you moving steadily upwards... A long, memorable pitch.

Location

From the 3rd set of anchors on

Tolle Route (aka Guide's Route)

step right into a corner and then continue up the thin crack on the headwall. Exciting liebacking moves up this crack get you to the first bolt. Bolts take you all the way to the chains from here. You'll pass another set of anchors off to your left on the way.

Protection

One set of cams from small TCUs to #3 Camalot, nuts including some small ones, and quickdraws. The gear is all there when you need it and this is a safe, but exposed, lead for someone comfortable at the grade.
