Description
Pitch 1 –
Locate a large chimney on the west side of the formation and begin up a thin crack on the west side of the chimney to a pin. Continue past the pin (crux) and traverse left to another pin (some minor questionable rock before the second pin). Then climb or aid a splitter finger crack to a pod and from the pod, aid or free climb (my guess is 10+/11-) through a short roof to a large ledge. Fix the line off gear and a single pin.
5.8 C1, 80 feet
Pitch 2 –
From the top of the pitch one, scramble up a loose gully (class 3) to a short chimney. Move the belay to here. Climb the chimney and climb some loose rock to the summit.
5.5, 50 feet
From the summit, complete a short rappel or down-climb (exposed and loose) 10 feet to an anchor on the top of the south side of the tower. A double 60M rope rappel reaches the ground from here. A single 70M rope could be used since there is an intermediate anchor on the south face.
