Kachina Tower North

Notice the topo in Desert Rock IV. "Beyond the 80th Meridian" mostly aids up a groove system on the West side of the spires ,then goes up to the right (South) to the base of the SOUTH TOWER this last pitch of the variation was aided by that party with some of those sliders that fitted into drill holes,here the party linked onto the already established route up the actual SOUTH KACHINA Tower ..(NOTE>This is incorrectly named NORTH TOWER in the Bjorstad guide description section). . The FA of NORTH TOWER (Incorrectly titled THE SOUTH TOWER in the description section of the Bjorstad guide, however the topo is correct)) was climbed later in May by Ross and Ross via the same three original pitches to reach the South Tower.From here the FA party climbed and rapped to the notch between the towers (see guide)Then a 5.9 pitch passed two bolts to the large ledge below the true tower.Here the Ross party climbed the north side of the tower placing about seven bolts and cams to an excellent summit.Descent... Rap the Tower then a short rap to the gap. From here the FA party found the drill holes and rap anchors of the western variation route "Beyond The Meridian". Rap this route 180' to the ground.
