Description:
Weird corkscrew summit. A very fun climb that is not too hard with a few good moves that are 10+, but mostly 5.9.Pitch 1 - Easy 5.4 mud leads to a big ledge. Clip a 4 bolt ladder to a belay. If freeing this at 5.10, you may want to break it into two pitches for rope drag.
Pitch 2 - A great 5.8 chimney. Takes good gear.
Pitch 3 - Climb 5.7 to an exposed stance. Clip a 3 bolt ladder, or free it at 5.10
Pitch 4 - The good one. Traverse out the spooky sidewalk and mantle onto the "Diving Board". Clip 4 bolts and drilled pins on the 5.9 corkscrew.
WARNING: The very top block (not what the anchors are around) is starting to get pretty loose
Descent: Lower to the diving board, and reverse the sidewalk. Two single rope raps lead to the top of pitch 1, and then a double rope rap to the deck. Absolutely classic.

Spectacular climb and views
My first tower and it was awesome.
If going after a windstorm, be careful of the loose dirt attached to the rocks, but it's nothing to get worried about. The rock is solid and the chimney and summit are awesome. Great views of the area from the summit.
