view of approach. hike on the trail past the tower (all the way to a slick rock wash) until the vegetated ramp comes into view. This leads you to the perch on the far left where the route starts.
The summit is a very contemplative place.

Second to last pitch, slightly sketchy rock at start, dihedral requires that you place good gear at start and punch it for a few moves...
Here is a quick, best recollection of the Coyote Tower route. Better than anything we could find before we attempted the route. Have Fun!
"Are you allright, do yo need a rescue?" came the insults from samaritans far below.
