Description 

This is referred to the "dumpy tower" near the base of Lost World Butte. Located in between where you park and the Butte. We named the tower "The Little Engine That Could". The start of the route is a crack system on the left side of the tower if you are looking at both the butte and the tower.

Pitch 1- Climb the sandy, chossy crack to a large ledge and gear (pins) belay. A2

Pitch 2- Move the belay right on the ledge and climb a wide crack leading to the summit. 5.7 A1

Descent- Rappel from double bolts to the ground.


Protection 

Selection of pins. A set of cams to #4 camalot.
