Description
From the Top of the more popular climbs of the West side of Der Zinkle (60 feet up) you end on a ledge with a walk up. The rock has two additional west-facing features above. The feature to the North is an additional summit, a point of rock that is another 50-60 feet above. Ascend this via a wide crack on the West side, up through a few blocks, then through a slab and up to a fingercrack which slants up and right though an impressive bulge (crux) before pulling the last overhang to the summit (10a). This route has some great moves and is reasonably protected, but is simply too short to get a rave review.
To descend, rap from a set of fixed anchors down the West side, back to the top of the rest of the routes and walk off to the North.
While climbing and rapping, keep the belay and rope as far north of the base as possible, stacking it and sitting on the rock perch to avoid a large patch of Poison Ivy that is just south of this tower.
