Location Suggest change

The route starts on the south east side of the tower, look for the obvious bolts.

Description Suggest change

Pitch 1-
Climb a bolt ladder to a crack that deteriorates the higher you get. Pass and old anchor and continue on a better crack to a great belay ledge. (5.9 A1+, 130')

Pitch 2-
Climb the obvious crack above the belay to the notch. (look for anchors on the right side of the notch)(5.10, 50')

Pitch 3-
This is not really a pitch, but move your belay to the notch on the far side of the tower. (4th class)

Pitch 4-
Climb mixed free and aid, over a roof to a bolt ladder and on to the summit. (5.9 C1, 170')

Descent-
Rappel from the summit to the top of pitch 2, then down the route.

Protection Suggest change

Double set of cams, stoppers, I hammered a single angle in pitch 1, but it should go clean without to much trouble.
