Description
This is suitable for a beginner's first climb, and takes little time to complete and descend. The route has several sections of roped scrambling, and follows a crack to the first belay with a slung "hourglass" thread for protection along the way. The second lead is scrambling and very easy 5th class, which ends at another thread for a belay. The final pitch is 5.2-5.3 which is the best one of the climb and involves a bit of stemming in a dihedral.
Two 60 foot rappels are required to descend from the SW edge of the tower. Both are overhanging, free rappels. Two 60 meter ropes would make this a breeze to descend.
