Description 

From the west end of the rail bridge, climb corners to gain the slab, then follow the slab to the summit.

Location 

This is the only known route on the tower to date.

Protection 

Protection is scarce and the climb is usually soloed. A few trees on the face can be slung. Slings can be placed around the summit to rappel from. You might get the odd nut or piton in, in a seam.
