One of the longer moderate leads in the park. While standing on big ledge, the crux can be well protected with a cam placed about 4 feet up and turned by jamming the crack just above the cam placement or using layback technique. Loose blocks greet you near the top. Once on top of the tower you can walk off it to the north and then circle back around towards the lake to pick up your pack.
