Please take note of the request for climbers to avoid disturbing raptors if at all possible.
Self-policing our behavior is MUCH better than an outright ban!

Description
This is the easiest way to the top of Lost Tower, a fun little romp to a cool summit if you're in the area to climb something else and find yourself with extra time.
Scramble up ledges via the path of least resistance toward the ridge on the right skyline. We set a belay on a large ledge just before hitting the ridge.
P1) Follow the narrow ridge, placing protection in the occasional crack. Belay when the ridge flattens and you find yourself in a sea of potholes. There is a two bolt anchor at the far end of this area (atop some other climb) that is handy for the belay.
P2) Span the gap, clip a bolt, and tiptoe up to the summit.
To descend, find a rap anchor atop Half Ass (a 5.10 offwidth) that will deposit you close to your packs. We used a 70m rope. A 60m rope may not be sufficient.
