Bowling Ball

A really fun romp up some solid slabs with a good old fashion chossy chimney section to navigate. This route isn't exactly on the Cellular Service tower, it's up the gully to the right of the formation and separated by a deep chimney. It climbs the left edge of the slabby wall above a nice pocket of trees. The first two pitches are solid slab climbing with a lone bolt on the first pitch and the second pitch starts with a fun and steep band of rock that bisects the wall. The third pitch weaves its way up a somewhat loose chimney and tops out to the right on the prominent tower at the top of the slab. Bring a good helmet as the the upper pitch is still quite alpine in places.

Uphill from Cellular Service wall. Look for the namesake bowling ball discovered on the first ascent. Rappel the route from chains below summit, then chains on the second pitch anchor, and the slung horn on the first pitch anchor (120' rap).

gear to 3" and a slung horn for the first anchor, chains for the second anchor, and a gear anchor on the summit.
