Description
1st ascent of the tower in 1948 was this route.
The free ascent in 1961 was considered 5.8 while placing pitons. There was an assortment of 1/4" bolts and fixed pins. Some relics remain, but I would not trust them much. The start is the physical crux, there are pro placements up there, stemming and chimney technique get you up it. There is a chock stone mid way up that made me nervous, seems to be wedged in.
Location
Starts at the notch between the tower and the main wall.
Protection
Cams and nuts to 3" . An old anchor with a bright SS bolt added in 2008 for the rap off.
