| Summit block and crux pitches... | [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||||||||||
Summit block and crux pitches on East Face of Minuteman Tower (III 5.10). Shirley is rapping on the right. There is more than one option (I think) of how you reach the P4 belay indicated in photo (yellow line at bottom roughly shows how we traversed in from the left) but ending up at P4 is what you want (I think). From here, the line indicated is the 5.10 option. Specifically, P5 is a short 5.10 finger/hand/off-hand crack (photo here showing lower 2/3rds of pitch); P6 starts with a 5.8 (maybe sandbagged a little?) pull through a flake in a roof (photo here) follwed by stellar hand cracks (photo here). Alternatively, one can bypass the indicated P5 and P6 pitches by taking a (dirty?) chimney on the right (hard to see it in this dark photo - it's right and about 30 feet above the 5.10 crack) and joining the indicated route above the roof pull.
