Standard Route

FA of the tower is unknown, but local legend Jerry Kanzler did the direct finish in 1967.

P1:

Climb a right-leaning crack to a left-facing corner. End on an awesome ledge with rap bolts.

5.6, 60'.

P1a:

Do

The Dagger

P2:

Climb a gorgeous left-facing corner with a crack of varying sizes. Follow it through a series of bulges to the exit out right on a large ledge.

5.8, 150'.

(P1&2 can be done as one with a 70m and maybe (unconfirmed) w/ a 60m rope.)

P3:

Grovel up the obvious chimney to easier ground. Scramble to the top.

5.7, 100'.

P3a:

DIRECT FINISH

. Highly recommended. Climb jugs and jams in a crack through the obvious overhanging face, right of the chimney. Hit easier ground and scramble to top.

5.9, 100'.

The route is pretty much dead-center on the Tower. Look for the enormous left-facing corner from the ground. Descend by a single-rope rap off the summit. Scramble down a large ledge to the skier's left and find another bolted rap. 100' to the ground. Skirt the base of the tower back to your packs.

Take a standard rack w/ singles to a #3 Camalot. Lots of runners for the long second pitch.
