Here is a pic of the hanging belay for T Tower. Probably the best spot to belay. There is a small ledge to stand on to set it up. There's a tree that leans against the tower that can be girth hitched.

[Hide Comment] To get off this tower lower your second down to the north platform and then use them as an anchor to rap off the opposite side. String the rope through an old piton with a new quick-link so ensure the rope doesn't slide off.

The top anchor is VERY sketchy. I strung together 4 small wires on the south side and girth hitched a dead tree leaning against the towers back side. Good luck! Apr 9, 2011
