Description Suggest change

Free standing formation between WML and Rockfellow group. The vortex offers an awesome summit with great views of the stronghold. From the info I gathered, Fred Beckey climbed this many years back and left some historical hardware on the tower.

Getting There Suggest change

Go towards Rockfellow group or Whats my line dome. It is in the middle of the two.
