Description Suggest change

If this isn't the North Face route described in Desert Rock III, then I don't know what it is. It IS, however, an "obvious route on the north side of the tower" (as stated in the book). And it's easy.

Climb up a short 4th class section to a large ledge. Make a couple easy moves (these can be protected by a cam and/or a sling around a horn if desired) to the first of five drilled fixed/drilled pitons. A few of the pins stick out, but some of them may have tie-off slings on them. Climb C1 to the top.

Location Suggest change

This route is on the north side (the side that faces away from the parking lot/campsite) of the tower.

Protection Suggest change

5 draws/slings. One cam (green Camalot?) and a sling for the free climbing.
