The Big Dipper

This quality climb is a good introduction to the steep routes on the Clock Tower's imposing roof. It starts a few feet to the right of the large tree that greets you as soon as you get to the base of the wall by coming up the trail. Ignore the tree placement in Rolofson's new guidebook, as he has it too far to the right. Anyways, the route climbs well-protected 5.11 moves through a small roof before topping out on a slab. Find the handy no-hands rest after pulling the roof and chalk up well so you don't grease off the slab moves.

9 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Quickdraws are all you need. Mussie hooks were added to anchor on 8/21/20.
