루트들 Tunis에서 선택된 등급들을 위해서

Just upslope and east of the Middle Buttress you’ll notice an isolated, tapered gendarme that’s about 25 meters high. Tom Bloom and I put up a lone route beginning at the lowest point on tower’s northwestern base. The climbing can be unsettling as the stability of the rock surface is quite dodgy. Still, ample, solid material is available for those with the will to send it. Bring a medium range of stoppers, cams and TCUs, as well as some slings and longer draws for protection.

1. Ascend up and left, making use of frequent holds and pockets.

2. Checking for large hollow-sounding flakes (which may be weakly attached to the superstructure) work your way to the top of a high-up offwidth where a flake splits from the main edifice.

3. Mantle the flake and step over the gap to an easy finish.

Avoid rapping from the chossy, fragmented horn on top in favor of spanning the deep, narrow chasm to the south and continuing with a 4th class descent along the southeastern backside of the prominence.

The belay stance for this sketchy route is a few paces downhill from the base of Pilgrim's Progress.

1. Climb right, up and over flakes and boulders to a broken arête that frames the main face of Pilgrims Progress.

2. Ascend straight up the arête using buckets and jug handles. Be alert for loose rock and dubious holds.

3. From the top, walk off or rap down on Pilgrim’s first pitch.
