We recently ran into some young, inexperienced climbers who had gotten the wrong idea from all the TR routes listed on Tootsie Pop Tower. They didn't realize that they would have to lead something to get to the anchor. We recently found an anchor on The Gumdrop that is accessible by scrambling. Ben Chapman's new routes on Rock Candy Tower are the next easiest way up to a summit. Have fun! Mar 31, 2018
