Description 

Great, fun climbing on a mixture of face and crack on the north side of the formation. Climb 30’ up a corner / crack system on the right side of the face. Traverse a few feet left to 5 bolts heading up the face 60’ to a second crack system. Follow the cracks system until it widens to a chimney. Place some gear and pull the harrowing exposed bulge on your right to the top. Rappel the route (double ropes).

Long pitch that gets you to the top of the tower, good rock and pro with an excellent finish. Gotta lover it!

I love this climb. The rappel is annoying though, with a high probability for rope clusterfks. I used single set of cams to 2" + nuts and a few hexes. The first time I climbed this I underestimated the length and ran out of draws near the top.

Marcy and I will be changing the rappel shortly - actually we already went to do it, but someone forgot the batteries for the drill...

Who was the brainiac who forgot the batteries :D

The new rappel will be 2 single line raps and will return you nicely to the base of the route instead of the current single double rope rap that takes you between the Climbology tower and the tower to the West.
