Access Issue: The Orange Tower is on private property
Details
Per Ryan Gajewski: the Orange Tower is on private property.
Description
Scamper up two big blocks, and begin climbing the corner. This route is a pumper, so don't hang out too long at any one place. There are two bushes you will pass, don't be afraid to use them both, and at three different places, I used my knees. Don't blow clipping the RP/HB.
Location
Next Incut to the right of Hatchet Job, find a right side of inside corner with big blocks at the base and a wide crack in the rear with some guano and rat piss.
Protection
A #4.5 Camalot was handy for the wide crack but not necessary. I slung a chockstone next to where I placed the #4.5. A medium size RP/HB for the top crux was key. A small purple Camalot was good piece below the crux.
