Matt rappelling.


Description 

Start on the north side of the chimney and walk inside. Climb up the chimney that is protected by a crack. Mantel onto a ledge or the shoulder of the spire. Clip a drilled pin which is a great foot hold, and climb to the summit. This route probably goes all free but it was cold out when we climbed it.


Protection 

Small Standard Rack, One 60 meter rope to rappel.

Although certainly an "obscure" tower which is surely never going to be a trade route (its also only 70ish feet tall) I though this was rather fun. Very similar to Space Tower in Kane Creek with great stemming and good protection.

Or.... Maybe I've been climbing with Ben and Brad too long...
