Description
If
TG, TB, & TJ
is 4 stars, 3Ts is four-and-a-half.
It is a pumpier and more technical line that ascends the features and crack on the right side of the headwall, while still using the same bolts as
TGTB&TJ
.
3Ts DOES NOT enter into the dihedral rest of
TGTB&TJ
.
From the jug below the dihedral rest of
TGTB&TJ
, follow the weakness by traversing slightly down and right on crimps and small foot holds to the blocky, polygon feature with a vertical finger crack above it. Discover a sneaky no-hands rest and then execute an awesome sequence up and left to finish on
TGTB&TJ
.
The rationale for adding 3Ts to MP: 3Ts ascends the more obvious line of the headwall by following the weakness of the rock. It is somehow a totally different climb, yet the current bolts still allow for it to be climbed safely and without feeling contrived.
I hope anyone who tries 3Ts, especially after doing
TGTB&TJ
, has a ton of fun. It is really cool to be able to climb 2 totally different stellar lines on one set of bolts.
Location
Climb
That's Weak
into
TGTB&TJ
, but follow the weakness out right instead of directly up into the rest of
TGTB&TJ
.
