Description Suggest change

First pitch is face climbing to a bolted belay 5.9. Second pitch is short but puts you at the base of the tower 5.7 with bolted belay. Crux pitch 5.11- is  a left facing corner to the top of the buttress. The 5.11- dyslexic swell stone pitch can be climbed with out doing the first two pitches by skirting the upper base from 500 east of the tower. 

Location Suggest change

Half mile up wash look for prominent buttress with Simi detached tower. Bolts are visible from wash. See pics.

Protection Suggest change

Several draws and a desert rack, one 4” cam  might be helpful on the final pitch. The route  can be rappelled several times  with one 60 meter rope.
