five bolts. Arete, step left to Crone at the top. Lower off. 

Location

on the left arete of the formation. 

approach via the left side of the tower. then go clockwise around the entire tower to a nice ledge at the base of the north face (via the guidebook) 

I opted to scramble up a very simple 3rd class chimney/chute on the right side.
