Gravy on the Cake

Route to the top of the summit block of the Boxtop.

Face climb up the NE side of the summit block from the flat staging area at the base of the north side of the block.  A bottom belay anchor can be had with hand to bigger cams in the crack formed by the block at one's feet.

Three lead bolts.  A sling could also be used on a horn.  Two bolt chain top anchor on top of route (and block summit).

Approach from the Boxtop Traverse, Master Mechanic or by a grumpy scramble up right of Master Mechanic.

Most reasonable route to the summit?  Certainly safer climbing than the OG route to its left.

Commonly done as the last pitch to the Boxtop Traverse route.

I'll take, "what is a malaphor?" for 100, Alex.

On the NE corner of the summit block.  Looking at the summit block from the north, the route is on the right corner face.

Draws for the bolts and anchor. Hand sized cams for the bottom belay if wanted. A sling could work for pro between bolts but most folks won't feel the need.
