Description

Tower Two is perhaps the most adventurous outcrop of the three, but nonetheless it is pretty amazing. The climbing here seems to be more blocky, and the sector as a bit shorter than Towers One and Three. After Volantis is fully developed, I imagine this wall will hold the least amount of volume. Even so, the consistent vertical nature of this zone makes for great, pumpy routes.

Getting There

From the tailings pile, hike right for a ways and then up the hill. From the lake, hike over Tower One and Tower Two in order to descend some gullies. Either way, these approaches take about 20-25 more minutes than for Tower One.
