Description
Pitch 1. Start up a thin hands crack. Climb through the OW bulge to a big ledge, then continue up the obvious hand/finger crack above to the belay directly below the double crack second pitch. Belay @ 2 good bolts with chains, 5.10, 100 feet.
Pitch 2. Climb the double cracks until they end. Do a couple of more moves up a hand crack, and belay below the right-leaning, varnished crack. The belay is 3 good bolts, 5.10, 75 feet.
Pitch 3. Climb out the varnished/ right-leaning fist crack until it gets wide and goes straight up. Continue up the OW to a huge ledge, which is more like a subsummit of the tower. The belay is 3 good bolts, 5.11, 60 feet.
Pitch 4. Step across the chimney and onto the summit section of the tower. Pass a bolt, and face climb left then back right to the summit of the tower. Belay at 4 good bolts, 5.10, 25 feet.
To descend: rappel the route with one 60m rope.
