Description
Follow the north ridge of Hot Tuna Tower. Much 3rd and 4th class scrambling with short (<50') sections of 5th class. The summit block is likely the crux of this route. Ascend the S/SW side of the summit block on some slab and sweet chickenheads. No anchor on top, downclimb the block to descend. I then followed the ridgeline south over the next sub-summit, and dropped off NW into the gully behind the towers. This is a good option if you are carrying all your gear with you, otherwise descend as per Croft/Lewis - "drop east down the second gully south of the summit, some rappels may be required."
This route is easily reached from the top of Soaring Eagle Tower, and allows for a fun solo linkup of the two towers.
