Description

Climb up to and clip the first bolt on Things that Rhyme with Bilbo.  This is just below the large pointed protrusion.  Instead of pulling the overhang above the bolt, traverse easily up and left for 20-30' to the second bolt.  Some gear can be placed between the first and second bolt if desired.  Easy climbing leads past bolt 3 and 4 to a small roof where some finger sized cams can be used.  The fifth bolt is an old buttonhead located 10' above the small roof.  From here the climbing increases in difficulty and it is a 30' runout to the top.  Time to put on your big boy pants for this section since the rock quality is somewhat suspect.  However the good news is that this route can easily be TR'd after climbing TTRWB.  TR'ing is probably the wisest way to do this climb as the risk involved in leading it may not be worth the reward.

Location

This route starts up the NW corner of Narchost Spire which is located 250' down and left from Goldberry Lane.  The route shares the same start as Things That Rhyme With Bilbo.
