Start up a chimney-like crack, on softer, crumbly rock. After reaching a ledge, some good jams lead to a wider crack with stems to the top.

The Overlook

Not sure of the history or name of this one but thought I’d give it a name so it wasn’t just another “unknown tower”.  Let me know the real name and I’ll change it.

The route starts on the west side, scramble up ledges to a bulge with soft rock.  Mantle over the bulge to a dihedral which leads to a ledge on the north ridge. Pick your way around unstable rock following the ridge to the to summit. Anchor is two bolts.

This route climbs up the west side via an obvious crack. Eventually the crack ends and you cut out right on face. Some gear can be placed in horizontals in this section.  Anchor on top is a sling boulder.  This surely goes all free at 5.10 or 5.10+.

The route starts on the west side and climbs up to a ledge.  Place some small cams in horizontal cracks before climbing up and left on a rail. Mantle onto the rail and clip a bolt. Blowing this mantle would hurt. A few more moves and you’re on top.  THERE ARE NO SUMMIT ANCHORS!  You’ll have to do a simul rappel to get off.
