Since it's 4 pitches, it is a tall tower.  The 5.9 on the left side of the tower.  We have a bolted belay ledge 2 pitches up.  At this point, the 5.9 routes stay left on the corner/face for 2 more pitches to the summit.

Their is another route that goes up the dihedral to the bolted belay ledge.  There is a wide crack thru a large roof another pitch up.  Steve hand drilled a number of bolts, but then we retreated.

Thin Red Line

Thin Red line is an obvious line on the vertical, exposed, thin tower on the west side of the canyon. Pitch 1. 5.4 Start at cairn on east side the buttress. Go up and left toward a tree then continue up to less steep terrain to build a belay. Pitch 2. 5.9 Slightly runout. Go up through dihedral, watch for the giant loose block. Continue past large tree and up to ledge where the route begins to get steep, bolted belay. Pitch 3. 5.11a Great exposed pitch! Clip a bolt and climb the tips finger crack (small wires). Continue to bolted belay. Pitch 5. 5.10a Fun last pitch. Follow bolt line through edges and pinches. There are lots of good stopper placements between runouts. Top out and you'll see anchors dead ahead. 2 bolted raps. Double rope rap off west side of buttress.
