Waiparous Tower, 5.8

Waiparous Tower, 5.8

1st Pitch- 50m- 5.8/ The crux move of the route will be some off-width not far off the ground in a wide crack that heads up from a gully to the south of Waiparous Tower. There are two cracks on the south end, head up the right, more obvious, one placing larger gear. You have to stem out of the crack at one point resembling a little bit of off width climbing. After that the climbing eases up to a ledge. Move right up loose, but easy, ground to an even larger ledge directly below a steep crack. The crack takes a #3 or #4 as I recall along with several pitons (2008) to assist in building the belay.
