Description

A short 25-foot split tower boasts three pretty easy trad climbs. The real crux here is avoiding the choss, since the whole rock is pretty grainy and the placements aren't very bomber.
Definitely bring some cordelette to rap/lower off the 2 rusty bolts on top. The spacing of these two bolts gives an incredibly strong rope drag for all of the climbs on this tower.
No info on the chopped bolt line on the right side of the spire, but would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows anything about it.

Getting There

Park at the parking pullout on the right with the small, sheer cliff alongside it, about the quarter mile before the Matterhorn pullout. Hike around the right side of the cliff, following the karens until you reach the ridgeline. The tower is in plain view from the parking lot as well as the ridgeline, making it easy to find.
