Overview
FA: Martin Fick Weiler, Robert Steenmeyer 10/17/2002

Begin behind a small pillar in a right-facing corner. A short boulder problem to a ledge leads to a low angle hand crack, first left then right. When the crack begins to peter out, look up and left for a single bolt on a slab just below a large tree. Belay from tree or go left to a communal rap anchor with The Gunswinger (5.8). You can descend with one rope from here and you can also reach around the corner and easily set up a toprope on the Crimson King. Pitch 2: Move belay up through a small bulge and some loose ledges to the base of the huge right-facing corner. Pitch 3: Climb up the corner and move out right under a roof/undercling (5.10+) or continue up the finger crack in the corner (5.11) to a ledge and belay from a bolted anchor. Pitch 4: Work up and left to the flake with a really cool hand crack and follow it to a stance on the aręte. Belay at the ledge or continue up the aręte to the top of the tower.

Rack: for Pitch 1 only: 2-3 ea 2”-3.5”. For Pitches 2-4: 2 ea .5-4”, 1 ea 5.5”, 1 ea extra 2-3”, 60m rope.

Descent: four rappels from chain anchors down the northwest face of the tower using one 60m rope.
