Description
Pitch 1 - A large chimney splits the tower. We climbed the east-side via 5.8 loose blocks to a stellar foot-back into bomb-bay chimney. Find a questionable bolted anchor in poor rock atop the chimney.
Pitch 2 - Stem back across the chimney and clip the first bolt of a short A0 bolt-ladder. After the third bolt free a mantle move onto a ledge, and climb behind and on top of an enormous detached feature. Clip the fourth and final bolt before the brief A2 section below the summit. Pull a strenuous summit mantle, and clip the summit "anchor". You may need to dig the anchor out of the choss. Yumm.
