Description
I've also heard this tower referred to as The Squirrel. It's gotten more ascents than I figured. One guy has done it a bunch of times. All the bolts and rap anchor at the top could use replacement. There's the carcass of a deer in a deep notch near the belay at the top of the second pitch, interesting on how it got there.
P1. Climb an ancient bolt ladder with 5 or 6 bolts, then scramble another 25 feet to a notch between the rim and the tower.
P2. Climb off hands and past vertical OW to easier ground.
P3. Traverse on a nice ledge system, and bust out a few hard moves including a mantel with less than perfect gear. A short easy scramble takes you to the top and the anchors.
