Description
This is the fairly obvious tower formation south of the main Comic Book area. It is up and right (southwest) of the Cerro Torre area and features two good face climbs and a chimney. From the Comic Book only the north face (no routes) can be seen along with the summit blocks.
Getting There
Approach as for comic book but continue around the formations (staying on the desert floor) until the south-west face of the tower can be seen (80 Proof Roof is easily recognizable). The best way to get to the base of the climbs is to scramble up to the far right and then traverse to the base of the tower.
