Au-Spice

Climb the wide crack on the west side of the Tower. The hardest climbing is right off the ground. Slightly overhanging soft rock split by 5-8 inch crack. An old style 5 probably would have worked well here. The angle eases from here and the crack gradually widens to ~ 12 inches before the traverse out left. Climb a suspicious, totem-like, pile of rock and finish in a comfortable yet unprotected chimney. Belay from the chimney. Double rope rap Fort Knox.

.75,3,4,5,(3x)6,9,12, a double length sling for the boulder before the traverse.
