Description

This fine tower has different aspects so chasing sun/shade will always be an option. The best view for the "tower" look is at the base of the Red Monster, this shows you it is detached, from the hardpan its tough to tell.

This tower has it all, a 5.6 scramble up the back, to a 5.12c mixed route up the front, to a classic 5.9 trad route up the north side. When you get to the top don't forget to take your shot of Tequila and thank James Garrett.

Getting There

It depends what route you are climbing, anyway you cut it the walk can't be more than 10 minutes from the car.
