Description 

A somewhat adventurous route to the top of Tonnere Tower.

Start 10 feet right of Join the Party, at the same spot as for The Twilight Kid.

Pitch One: Climb up to a high first bolt (5.9) then move right into shallow corners. Veer right and gain a small point of rocks above a dead pine. Go right across the ramp to a two-bolt anchor.

Pitch Two. Climb up a small, thin flake, clip the bolt and make a hard move (5.10) to gain a ledge. Continue straight up and then left to a good ledge, two dead pines and a two-bolt belay.

Pitch Three: 5.10, 160 feet. Climb up short corners and reach a perfect hand and fist crack. Climb the crack till it ends and then step right into a shallow corner with tricky gear, make a hard move to another shallow corner then straight up doing chimmey-type moves. The angle eases and climb up to a pine tree and belay. Be careful of loose rock.

Pitch Four. 5.6, 60 feet. Climb cracks straight above the pine and reach the top of Tonnere Tower and belay.

Walk off the backside of the tower and down to the east.

Fun adventure route with beautiful views.


Location 

Take the Treasure Wall approach. Hike right up the hill about 50' to the highest ledge by a big pine tree. Start on the face by the tree, with a high first bolt. This is the same start as for The Twilight Kid.
