Description:

Staying Power Towers. Left of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Pitch 1: stem up chimney (start of To Knee or Not to Knee), follow bolts up flake and 5.10a face to the right. Pitch 2: follow bolts up insanely steep juggy overhangs, easily the steepest 5.10b at Owens, and join the top of Don't Look Down. 180' rap, can rap to intermediate station with one 60m rope, but be careful as you have to swing into the station (use backup on the rappel!). A 1-bolt connector to the left gets you from the top of the first pitch to the starting anchor for Don't Look Down (4th class).

3 out of 5 stars Fun

Route is a little weird since it bypasses the roof which is a great feature.

Awesome second pitch, unbelivably steep, but pretty easy! A good trainer for steeper routes. I did feel however that I was going to pull monster blocks onto my belayer during everymove...
