Direct Start to Happy Hunting Grounds

Upping the ante on an already wild tower climb, this thin crack to bolted stemming corner requires the full range of techniques. A short bit of interesting 5.11 crack climbing ends with a long move to good holds and the beginning of the face and stemming cruxes. There are hard moves at almost every bolt culminating in some very delicate opposition and a hugely wide stem to gain a horizontal crack and the belay ledge.

Located directly below the two-bolt anchor of the first pitch of Happy Hunting Grounds on Warrior Tower in Long Canyon.

Ten quickdraws, one set of nuts, and a single set of cams to #2 camalot. The first few cam placements off the ground are a bit tricky and in slightly soft rock.
