Don't let the Wicked Witch shake you off her head ...

Description This tower gets stars due to position, views, and the old saying that one tower is better than four walls. Wicked Witch is the naughty girl standing in the middle of the group.
Pitch #1: After the short approach and having closed the gate behind you, walk around the tower until you see the line on the north side. Climb up past about 9 bolts to a cruxy bulge at her neck until you are able to stand on top of the Wicked Witches head. 5.9+, 13m.
Expect chossy loose conglomerate at least until the hoards discover these witches and clean her up. The glue-in "unique and special" bolts are absolutely bomber.
Location This tower is the obvious witch standing alone by herself.
Protection QDs 10 bolts. Three bolt belay and rappel station on top. Special thanks to Carolina Petrelli for the attentive and patient belay on 11 July 2011 until the line was equipped.
Wicked Witch, the route ascends the right profile

| You're definitely a sick man James. That accident must have put something sinister inside you.
Having said that, climb these things now because you don't know how long they're going to be standing. I would recommend rapping off them rather than lowering. |

| the bolt spacing is fine it's just the quality of the rock looks like cobble stones are set in the mud |

| yeah climb these while they still stand i seen pics of them today from 1870 they look the same.. The top felt a little harder then a .9 but good holds are far reach with the left. Then pull up and do a beached whale flop to the top lol thats what i did.
Rap down to reduce rope drag.
Didnt pull down any thing to big but beaware of what you are holding |
