3 climbers on the summit after 2nd ascent...
Nice casual route for a half-day outing after going to Calandula falls.
Climbers on the big ledge at the end of the 1st pitch.
Dan up on the final slab of pitch 3. Even though the route is fairly slabby, there is always good exposure off the West face of the tower, so it feels like a vertical route the whole way. The 3rd pitch is pretty close to vertical so you really feel the exposure of the whole route while you climb.
Summit belay. Car for scale.
About to reach the upper slabs of Pitch 3 (30-40 feet to go on upper slab). Shows approximate path of route.
From the top of the first pitch. Our car is on the road in the distance. Gives a good overview of the approach through the grass.
Another island in the sky!
