BETA PHOTO: this is the view of the tower youll get from near ...
Description
P1: Locate a bolt line on the east side of the formation which starts up an easy arete. The arete gets steeper and eventually turns into a small tower. Two-chain belay at the top of the tower, 30m.
P2: Stem or fall across the "Gap of Flatulence" to regain the main formation. Climb up 2 or 3 bolts to a big ledge ("Camp blessing") and walk around the boulder to a two-bolt belay.
P3: Climb up a steep section (.9+) past 4 bolts to the top of Haji Rock rock and the summit register. The belay is in an awkward location but the amazing free rappel makes up for it.
Descent
Free-hanging rappel from the summit to the top of P1, then another 30 meters to the ground.
Location
Once you find the formation from The Pipe Dream move towards it on a trail. Cut off the trail and move up a tree-filled gully that is down-canyon from the formation. A good topo for this and other Maple multi-pitch climbs can be found at Jason Stevens' website.
Super fun multipitch, (this was my first multipitch and is a good one to start out on) great belay ledges, the step-over on the second pitch makes the route twice as cool. I'll repeat this one for sure.

Yea, really fun and scenic route! Thanks FAers for all the hard work! Be carefull topping out as there is lots of loose on top. Also the firt rap has a somewhat hard pull so make it easier by pulling most of the rope from the top after the first goes down.
