Description

Begin in a small alcove 20' or so right of "Gunswinger". A short steep section brings you to a ledge and then 40' of low angle hand crack. If continuing belay from a tree above the crack. If stopping here (for 1 pitch of 5.8), head left up a small slab with a bolt to the "Gunswinger" anchor and rap.

Pitch 2: Move up and right to the base of a large right facing corner. (A little loose)

Pitch 3: Climb the corner then move right out the roof. (5.10+) It is also possible to continue up the finger crack in the corner at 5.11. Reach a ledge and a bolted anchor.

Pitch 4: Work up and left to a flake with a hand crack and follow it to a small ledge on the arete. Belay here or continue to the top of the tower.

To descend: 4 rappels with a single 60m down the northwest face of the tower.

Location

The next route right of the corner "Gunswinger". Begin in a small alcove with a boulder.
