Description
Tingey's Terror is another 5.7 route stacked on top of Tarzan. Lots of variations exist to this climb.
P1 & P2) Approach by Tarzan or Sweet Jane Variation.
P3) From the chain anchors, climb up and right through mostly easy terrain to an anchor in the trees or a gear anchor.
P4) From the tree anchor, climb up a shallow right facing corner, which eventually becomes big up higher. The lower portion of the crack lacks much gear, but is fairly easy. Stop at a set of chain anchors.
P5) Two major options. Traverse right a long ways across unprotected slab to a 3 bolt line which leads to a ledge (chain anchors). The other option is to climb the left side of the slab, requiring some gardening. Work into a right facing dihedral, then make an easy traverse to a set of anchors.
P6) There are 3 options for this pitch. I went up the left facing flake (fun 5.6) just to the left of the right set of anchors. Follow this up and right through lots of trees. Sling a tree for the belay.
P7 and beyond) From here, I think an exit pitch goes up and left, but I kept going on Tingey's Torture.
Descent) Continue up Tingey's Torture, or do the long bushy scramble over to the Schoolroom rappels.
Protection
Standard Rack. I found aliens to be particularily useful. Also, there are a few bolts.
