Description
Crux #1 - approach the tower from the south.
Crux #2 - walk around it a couple of times to find a seam to nail up. The north east side seemed to be the best.
Crux #3 - hammer in the first or 4 pieces and hope you don't deck when the rock around the 4th piece explodes due to the pressure of your tomahawk pushing against the rock.
Crux #4 - finding a good piece as you come to what you think would be a flat ledge but instead is a ledge of dirt and so-called rock underneath.
Crux #5 - going from the ledge to the top, pulling on seemingly solid cap rock when it suddenly pops off with you hand clenched around it.
Crux #6 - standing on the top, realizing that the block you are standing on has a nice 45 degree break through it which might make a great sliding plane for it to coming sliding off with any extra pressure from above.
Crux #7 - downclimbing to the webbing tied around the neck of the tower and lowering off while the tower continues to crumble.
