Description
This tower is located about 1/4 mile past Swaseys Cabin just past "A walk on the Swasey Side." It is located on the left (East) side of the road. Park and walk up an old road then into the drainage and up to the base of the tower. The approach takes about 10 minutes. The route climbs a nice crack system on the left side of the north face of the tower. Begin on a nice ledge above a sandy spot and climb a short slab passing two huecos to a finger crack. Climb the finger crack then reach left into a nice handcrack and climb to the roof. This section is 5.10. Continue up a three bolt ladder left around the roof to lower angle rock above and another bolt on a ledge. Climb 10 more feet to the summit and anchor.
There is a small cairn on the summit with a summit register underneath it.
