Tuttle Creek, Clean Willy’s Escape. Alan Roberts and I climbed this route in June. It lies on the Keystone Wall above Tuttle Creek’s south fork. It follows the prominent crack and chimney system just right of the Locksmith’s Route (Beckey-Roberts). At one point a traverse right was necessary to gain a new crack system. After five pitches we rappelled off the route, rather than continue up the broken 4th and 5th class to the top. NCCS III, F9.
