Description

Pitch 1-

Climb a bolt ladder to a crack that deteriorates the higher you get. Pass and old anchor and continue on a better crack to a great belay ledge. (5.9 A1+, 130')

Pitch 2-

Climb the obvious crack above the belay to the notch. (look for anchors on the right side of the notch)(5.10, 50')

Pitch 3-

This is not really a pitch, but move your belay to the notch on the far side of the tower. (4th class)

Pitch 4-

Climb mixed free and aid, over a roof to a bolt ladder and on to the summit. (5.9 C1, 170')

Descent-

Rappel from the summit to the top of pitch 2, then down the route.

Location

The route starts on the south east side of the tower, look for the obvious bolts.

Protection

Double set of cams, stoppers, I hammered a single angle in pitch 1, but it should go clean without to much trouble.
