Description 

The South side of this peak is over 2000' high in places and is one of the most beautiful walls in the area. While not as popular as the Lotus Flower Tower this wall is a worthy destination by itself. For better information check out George Bell's online guide to the Cirque of Unclimbables at

Getting There 

From Fairy Meadow hike up the left side of the cirque towards Proboscis for about an hour. It is the almost free standing tower on the right, just past Terrace Tower.
