Description
This route is the left most route on the east side of the tower. I thought I was doing an FA until I was 3/4 of the way up and saw a rope groove. I started with two beak placements to a cam and then a bolt(Sorry again for placing the bolt). Climb past the bolt into a sandy stem box. Continue with free and aid to a notch where you join the original west side route. There was a drilled pin here that fell out as I chimneyed/off width past it. Chimney for 20’ to a ledge. Place good small cams in a horizontal and mantle off your top steps onto the summit. The 2 bolt anchor is 30’ away on the northern edge.
