Alea Iacta Est

Description

Scramble ruble and start with thin hands in left facing corner.  Climb past protruding block/flake with interesting chimney moves and into a hallway.  If you are really skinny you might be able to squeeze up into the crack above but most likely you'll have to lieback a difficult OW with bad fall potential.  Climb with pretty good pro in a variety of sizes past a scary flake that makes up the left side of the route.  Eventually flop into a beautiful cave where a belay can be made.  Or, finish the route in a single pitch with some low angle OW to hands at the top.  Build an anchor on the summit.

There are rap bolts on the other side of the tower in the large gash between the two largest towers.

Location

Sunny side of tallest tower.  Start just right of the beautiful hanging splitter on the sheer face.  A protruding block/flake are visible 30 feet up the first pitch.

Protection

SDR, a 9 inch piece can be helpful.
