Standard Route

This is an "old-school" serious route. The first pitch climbs 25-30 feet of overhanging, unprotected rock to the first gear placement, and ends in a saddle about 40 feet higher at an old 2-bolt belay. The second pitch climbs an arete similar to that on the Razors' Edge for about 60 feet to a large block. From here, one can either move right into a loose gully and to the top, 40 feet 5.6, or swing left out onto a headwall and climb poorly protected 5.8 face to the top. A fixed rap anchor is found on the West side of the summit. One double/rope rappel gets you back down.

The route is found around the back-left side of the Tower as viewed from the saddle between the Tower and the Hand.

The protection on this route is vary sparse! It is possible to place a few wires and medium cams on the second pitch. The first pitch is a virtual solo until the difficulty eases!
