Description Suggest change

This route climbs a crack system to a chimney then to top on the east face. A thin hands crack leads through some steep soft rock as well as slabby soft rock. Some of it loose, with a large hollow, but attached rock just below chimney. Belay at three bolt anchor in chimney that is not visible from below. From anchor, scramble/fourth class to top, 10’.

Note: There are several other options for reaching the top of this tower on the north side and west side. Also, this route may have gone free, I was alone and scared so I aid soloed.

Location Suggest change

This tower is just southwest of Brigham Butte. It is short and squat with a chimney on the upper east face. It doesn’t earn a sighting tube.

Protection Suggest change

Nuts, #.5 BD to #4.5 BD with several #3, #2, and #.75. I also used a red tricam.
