The Viewpoint

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.

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+.

Start up the Hidden Valley trail. Just before the first meadow cut left on a trail that heads up the talus cone through the cliff bands and to the rim above. Once on top cut left(south) past ‘The Overlook’ until you reach the tower. At one point you have to go a bit west to avoid getting cliffed out.

Single set from .3-1

Double set from 2-4
