Minas Tirith

While the road was closed in 2005 and early 2006 this offered a nice remote climb on a very aesthetic spire. It was very cool to bike in to do this climb.

The route is comprised of fun face climbing next to a wide crack that is initially steep but quickly relents. The second pitch is on the shady side and is more of a boulder problem. Avoid the leftward traverse and boulder straight up the face on stellar moves. Of course you should do the route a second time to do the leftward traverse just for the cowboy move onto the arete. Many variations exist on the pinnacle.

Indian Creek area, near the mouth of Powell Branch. GPS: 37.8749°N, 83.6617°W

A decent mix of passive and active pro, nothing extreme on either end will get you up the route. make sure you take webbing for the rap just in case.
