A beautiful if short off width; the crux is pulling the lip of the roof and getting established in the crack above. A bit out of the way, but an excellent outing if you're a chubby chaser.

Fat Lip

Rocket Tower

An obvious chimney on the north side splits the tower from the rest of the rock. Blast off and squirm up the unprotected chimney and clip a bolt at about 10 feet up. Keep squirming for ten more feet to a nice horizontal break and some gear placements. A hidden wide crack hides around to the west and offers more gear. Get on top of the shorter summit and find a nice 0.4 camalot placement in a pocket to protect the step across and face climbing to the quaint summit. Descend back to earth by lowering or rapping from the summit.

The Rocket Tower is a super cool 50' freestanding tower almost directly across the canyon from the option 2 descent route into the canyon. A 5.9 chimneying route with a cool step across ascends the north side of the tower to the tiny 4'x4' summit.
