Terrace Tower, Brent's H am m er. O n Terrace Tower in the C irque o f the Unclim bables in July, A. M awson, D.Lavigne, and J. Lavigne established a steep route on the southeast face. Their route, Brent s H am m er (200m, 5.11+), climbs mostly hand cracks and is approached by scram­bling left up the ledges toward the loose gully below the face. The first pitch begins after you head up and right 5m into the gully, climbing an arching, right-facing corner. The initial four pitches range from 5.10- to 5.10+, with the final two being 5.11 +. The line receives plenty of sun and reportedly remains dry when other climbs in the area are wet. Descend via fixed rap­pels. Bring triples of hands- and small hands-sized cams. A 4" or 5" piece can be helpful on the final pitch.
