I had not anticipated an all free ascent, but knew most of it would go.
The belays for a roped solo were located accordingly, but I can understand shifting the one below the Primo Crack.
There seem to be a couple of spots people where people can go off route.
The first is going to the right rather than to the belay below the Shroud of Elvis (Nancy did this on the SA and I yelled beta from the road!)
The second is on the Face Crack, again not taking the easier left option.
Seiging much of the route in the early cool hours before the sun hit in midsummer '92 was great fun.
Toquerville Tower got its name by being the farthest from my home there; going up and over might even be faster than rapping off.
I think it would have been better form for Chris to obtain permission for essentially reproducing my original material published in Onsight many years ago.
Legal? Perhaps, but so what? Still bad form.
But this is an old stale debate.
Enjoy the route and try to go lightly.

This is probably one of the most fun routes I've done in Zion. If freeing or french freeing bring triples from green C3 to .75 camalot. Doubles to #1 with a single 2 and 3 camalot.

*What is "Route Beta"?
It's climber slang for information or tips on a route as in, "what's
the beta on that route?" As a service to fellow climbers we ask SuperTopo
