Ethan Allen Park - Tower Wall Guide

The furthest left side of the Tower wall has a new project that follows the chunky blocks up to a diagonal line to the anchors. A crimpy sidepull up through the crack is the crux.

The center of the Tower wall has a more defined crack running diagonal across the face and breaking back through a gap in the top of the cliff to the anchors. The start to the climb goes up through a blocky and reachy set of easier crimps, and then into the crack for a massive layback to the finish.

The Tower wall has a roof that is the most obvious feature on the cliff. Take the diagonal crack to the end and traverse onto the face, climb to the roof, and undercling left to get to a wider gap in the crack. Thin holds on the face above the roof. Crux moves are getting across under the roof and finding the right point to climb over.

To the right of the Tower wall is a slab that has some nice routes that are meant to be good warm ups. The bolts at the top provide for an easy rappel from the top as well and serve for two routes on the wall. Tree Beard and Proper Hygiene

The Tower wall has a slab to the right of the main wall with two routes from the same toprope anchors. The right side of this slab holds some more technical bouldery starts and has a more difficult start comparable to a hard 5.9, which is slightly overhanging. This rounds out onto more easier 5.7 moves to the anchors after 20 feet.

Part of the lower cliff area, the first cliff you come to on the jogging trail is the area to look for. The large blocks of boulders along the cliff line form a set of Zig Zags along parallel cracks to a topout finish. A consistent 5.9+ on a toprope.

The first cliff along the jogging trail has a Zig Zig Crack, on the left side of the cliff. The corner of that boulder has the climb that follows up the right face, using the corner and sidepulls on the face. The crux is getting over the two blocky roofs and the finish is using thin vertical and diagonal cracks across the face to the top.

The first cliff you get to on the jogging trail on the corner edge of the face has the climb. Look for the roof situated over the face with a large tree at the bottom near the belay. The blocky start is technical and reachy but easy to the roof, when you take to edging and crimping out onto the face to the top, Razor thin edges for crimps are the crux at the very top. Toprope Anchors are accessed by the short trail at the corner of the cliff.

The first cliff you come to on the jogging trail has the climb, and there is a large tree at the base where the belay sits. This shares the same anchors and face climb as Balls Out up blocky technical moves to the roof, but takes out the roof to the right using some aerial moves. Undercling the roof behind the block with your right hand and reach back over your head to the hold on the face, walk your feet up as high as comfortable, and dyno to the right to a massive jug. Heel hook and mantle finish.
