Follows a large dark dihedral on the southern end of the west face of Asgard Tor. A bit dirty, could use some TLC and laps to clean it up.

Asgard Dihedral

Lost Indexican

Asgard Flare

The Juggular

Little Maniac/Dead End Crack

Green Wall

Located lookers left of the Asgard dihedral. 11-12 bolts wander up a slab to a crux higher up the wall. Really cool features surprise the climber, it climbs better than it looks! low 5th class climbing is possible around the backside to approach the anchor of this climb for TR.

Bolted an anchor for the white open book/ flair system, the obvious right prow as you approach the tor from the trail. It's an easy low 5th class climb to approach the anchor, but a fall would be death or serious injury. Best to rope up from the anchor of "Lost Indexican" and traverse to this anchor rather than free solo.

 Please add bolts/scrub/clean out gear placements to make this another stellar line at Asgard Tor!

Left leaning layback leads to a steep, juggular layback crux. Easier, yet engaging climbing follows to the 2 bolt anchor. Closely spaced bolts- go for it!

This is THE crack of the Tors. The crack varies from hands to fingers before tapering out to 5.9 run-out at the top. A fixed pin at the top of the crack was pulled out with a gentle tug this summer. A couple bolts a the top of this climb would make the lead considerably safer. 

  To top rope the climb, go around to the south side of the rock and follow a ramp to a grassy ledge. From the grass head towards the wide gap (chimney) that leads to the top. The moves are a bit committing here and I have to agree with the guide book that a belay makes the outing more pleasant. Being tall helps, too.

Top rope face climbing. You can't climb crack all day so why not give this a go, too?

Of the Tors, Asgard and Lizard's Eye are arguably the most impressive.  There are climbs on both the west and east face making it possible to chase the sun. As with the other Tors, wind and rain can come in at any time. Bring warm clothes and rain gear. Fortunately, there is a nice rock to seek shelter under during a storm off the northern side of the tor. If the weather is stable, this rock is definitely worth the extra mileage.
