Ascensiones en The Watchtower Faces como varios tipos de ascensiones registradas por Douglas Hockly

Needs rebolting. The start is crimpy and not that great. It's a better route to do the start of Claw and join the traverse at about 4m. Gear is not totally bomber with a shallow cam pretty much all between you and the ground.

Just the top flake. OK, not worth doing again.

I saw Moorhead/Muir '81 in the guide and prepared myself to be sandbagged - but it is fair for 23 and the gear is ok - just an exception to keep you on your toes. Crux is not as nice as the rest of the route.

Tried to lead it but got all pumped and scared and put a TR on it. Good climbing, needs a chain. Gear is actually fine, I was just having a wussy day.

Amazing. Incredible. My whole life as a climber has culminated in this. At least today it did.

Also a bit worrying up the top! Best done on a confident day.

Seemed hard, and wire seemed like it would be hard to place

Interesting and varied.

Maybe 23?

Quite fun in bottom half, then very mossy and easier

Might be 23. Great climbing on big holds, easier and better protected than Amok!

10 laps training in my Become Adam Demmert programme. Having the plastic surgery next week - so excited! Conditions a bit warm, had to climb shirtless by the end.

A little runout after the flake

A great lead on the top pitch by Edwin in about '91.

Frightening! Scary and hard

Felt hard even on tr.

Excellent! Like Huey but with a hard bouldery start that's about 22

Interesting, technical and insecure. Nicer now it has the bolt!

Pretty solid for the grade. Reachy.

Tried to lead it, backed off - gear ok on crux, then run out. Followed Ben up it.

Good climbing with some dodgy rock (gave it a good kick on second though) and some moss and dirt at the top. Great onsight lead by Wendy!

Hard and pumpy and difficult to protect well at the start. #4 camalot helps.

All cams up to yellow - save a yellow for the last break on the overhanging wall.

You can go straight up - off a shallow midsize cam, or diagonally left to finish as for Hendrix (better and better protected).

Not really a fan of the slick slab, one pitch quite runout too.

Slick and hard!

The fun bit is a bit short

Good climbing but you have to do a lot of Watchtower Crack to get there, which is pretty horrible.

Good climbing, but the rock is a bit suspect and so too the gear. Wouldn't do it again as it feels a bit risky.

Good fun, started up Driftwood, two 60m pitches, take 70m rope!

Top roof is hard for 17.

Great climbing - a little runout at the top, which is the crux I guess.

Not as good as Hyperbola

Quite fun and a good lead onsight by Wend.

A bit short

Rubbish

I remember it being good, but runout. Slick slabs are not my favourite.

This is good! Needs a brush but nice rock and moves.

Slippery and hard for the grade
