For a great alpine rock climb in the beartooths, The Tower of Innocence is hard to beat. It will give you 7-8 pitches of mostly 5.8 and 5.9 climbing, there are some short sections of 5.10 but nothing sustained. The rock quality is great and it is a short approach, by Beartooth standards. There are two other towers that lay next to Innocence, Tower of Poor Rock on the left and Tower of Incubus on the right. I have done routes on them as well and while the quality isn't as good as Innocence they are still worthy climbs. This summer I plan to link all three towers in a day, should be a great climb.
Pitch 8
Pitch 4
Pitch 3
Pitch 2
At the start of the route, waiting to see if it was going to rain. It did rain, on pitch 8!

For the enchainment, you should throw in The Ramp for good measure!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, JoJo
that looks great. i cant wait to get on that route. I found your site looking for info about the East Rosebud valley. My friend and I are working a route on the lower Doublet and i saw that you did a route on it. if you have a topo showing where your route goes. nice work on your other ascents.
