Description Suggest change

Attractive chimney and Ow on the North face of the main Tower seen from the Window. 

This route was climbed onsight ground up Jan.2.25

There are no bolts or anchors, this is a natural line!

 Approach pitch. Scramble up gully with trees to the base of the main chimney.  (5.5)

Pitch 1.  Begin on yellow hand crack which turns into a chimney squeeze. Ascend short off width into the inner passage and continue stemming your way up and towards the back of the chimney.  Continue past a big chockstone and exit the chimney onto the face to belay below the dual crack dihedral.  (.9)

Pitch 2. Start by stemming and hand jamming up the multi dimensional cracks. Continue on face holds and more funky off width until you can see the belay ledge on the right below the summit block. Gear of all sizes on this one.  Great Pitch  (.10b)

Pitch 3.  Short pitch. Climb the #6 crack to the top of the Tower. (.8/9)

Pitch 4.  Once you reach the top of the tower, continue on one last roped up pitch to the summit and walk 100ft South to find the gully to walk off.  Scramble to the Esperero/Ventana Trail.
