Tower of Talus
Description
It has a good standing start that leads to a couple of solid pockets. Reach left to some good holds on an arête get some high feet and get to the first ledge then Traverse right to top out. I didn’t try to go up to the second ledge because it is a bit sketchy to go up and I didn’t have the guts, but It’s a very clean route (which makes me think it’s been done before but I just want more people to try it, so if you want to lay claim to this route please do and I’ll update the info) great route for beginners and people who like pockets, if you’re weird like that.
Location
When you get to the parking area you will see a stripe of beautiful red granite boulders. If you go back the road a little ways across the street from the parking area you will see two metal portions in the fence that look a lot like gates, they are not, but if you hop the fence at the second gate (it is really the third gate but the first one is right across from the parking area. If you haven’t past the tagged rock that says Tyler on it three times you haven’t gone far enough.) hop the fence there and continue up the hill at an angle toward the east end of the strip of boulders. You will see a tall boulder on the far left that has a head on it. On the east side of the boulder you will see some cracks and the route is on the left side of the wall.
Protection
Two crash pads are suggested because there are two levels at the bottom that split the route.
