Start as for Solar Winds but instead of finishing at the top of the first tower of East Temple continue on fun and clean ridge romping for another 400+ feet to the top of The Great Pyramid. Can also start Via Scream of the Banshee to make the route go at 5.6!

Solar Winds

Much cleaner and splitter variation to SOTB. Start 40’ up and left from toe of tower in a grovely 5.6 bush filled chimney to join SOTB. Now bust out left on beautiful cracked panel/slab that makes up the left side of the corner. Climb to top staying as far left as possible to finish up a cool finger-off finger crack.

SOTB shares the same start as Solar Winds  but instead of pulling the roof to continue up the crack on SW, climb up and left following the large left facing broken corner system.

Starting at the very toe of the tower climb fun clean low angle crack up slab until it is possible to pull through roof via climbers left. Now climb straight up narrowing pillar climbing the hand crack to seam. The seam from the ground/approach looks like a finger crack and as you climb it, it looks as if the knife blade seam it ends up being will not pro. It not only protects with small gear it climbs amazing. The crux is building the anchor.
