Description
The route starts on the West Face of the Tower.
There are actually two free standing formations divided by a mini rock saddle.
Pitch 1. Climb cracks and plates to approach the Barry Manilow. This is the first smaller tower that you climb to, get on the tiny summit for a quick look around.
Pitch 2. After doing the Manilow, the real biz starts with ascending a hollow flake / crack system which gets better the higher you climb. Finishes with a good ol grass in the face move.
Pitch 3. Traverse right from the belay ledge and on to steep cracks for the final crux of the route. Pull over bulge and summit.
Link this route with Tower 1 ( Bubba) for an amazing day
