Description
Eric Bjornstad's Desert Rock simply says that this route ascends the "northeast corner" of the tower.
Since this is the descent route, we observed 2 belay/rap stations: 1 is a hanging belay about 100' up the route, the other is on a sloping ledge about 50' above the first.
The first pitch has pin scars at the bottom of the route, following a thin seam up for about 50'. The crack widens quickly to chimney size, and continues at this size for another 50 feet before becoming hand/fist sized, and passing through a roof. It appears to remain in the thin hands to fist range the rest of the route.
The route is shown in other photos, since it is the standard descent from the right (east) tower. For example:![]()
