Toms Thumb
About Toms Thumb:
| The obvious "Thumb" sitting high atop the Mcdowells. From the west side parking, go up to your right of the thumb up to the easiest ridgeline and follow a trail south to the thumb. Expect some bushwacking and intermittent trails. Loaded with many excellent cracks of all grades. rap anchors on the south side. Bring two ropes for the rappel. (edit) Rap off west side. Only one 60m rope is needed here. Or down climb the West Corner. Expect to get spanked due to a combination of old school ratings and crucial holds/flakes which have broken off over the years. Many of the bolts are 30+ years old. |
