The Tomahawk

Description

This incredible 2-pitch route begins in a left arching crack about 50' left of a large pine tree at the base of The Helmet's north face. Climb up a ramp underneath the crack to the first piton. A bolt past the piton leads to sporty face climbing to a second piton (TCU's may be placed here). A difficult move past the second piton leads to a sustained and technical traverse past 7 more bolts to a hanging 2 bolt belay. The second pitch passes 9 bolts up a steep chute over "mini moguls" to another two bolt belay.

Protection

The first pitch is protected by 8 bolts, 2 pitons, a few small TCU's and one large stopper near the beginning. The second pitch has 9 bolts. Two bolt anchors with rap rings are at the top of each pitch. Make one double rope rappel or two single rope rappels to the ground.
