Description

A free standing granite tower located just south of the Tombstone. The established routes are on the west face and northwest arete so it sunny in the afternoons and shady in the morning.

Getting There

Approach as for the tombstone. Once you're about 2/3 of the way down to the base of the Tombstone (coming from the top of that formation) trash a short ways over to the base of the Knifeblade. The approach from the crest parking is 20-30 minutes.
