MapDescription
This climbs the shady side of the tower.
P1. Go up a nasty corner that starts thin and ends offwidth. Get to rest ledge, then go up thin, discontinuous seams with mandatory freeclimbing to a small stance with a bush.
P2. Continue up discontinuous flaring cracks and seams to obvious, left-facing corner. The rock is pretty bad here. Traverse left under roof, and ascend more ledges and roofs to the summit. Note that your belayer is directly in the fall line for any rockfall, and many big loose blocks remain on the route.
Location
This is a mile or so past Arch Tower on the left. You'll know it when you see it.
Protection
A standard desert rack. Bring a few peckers and small stoppers. There are some tricky sections.
