Moai Tower: Vanished Civilization

Description

Begin on north side of tower at base of obvious, splitter hand crack.

P1. Climb a hand crack to the ledge at the base of a chimney.

P2. Climb into chimney, and traverse halfway through hallway. An obvious, huge, partially detached block below an offwidth is the place to start heading up. The block didn't move for me, but your mileage may vary. Chimney up using #5 and #6. At around 50', you leave the chimney and climb a splitter #4 crack for a while. The route has been excellent to here, but those days are over. Scary aid on sand for 50' gets you to the top. If a piece fails ,you'll probably get smashed into the chimney, and it would be bad.

Bring a long string of tat to sling the summit as an anchor.

Location

This is on the lower most of three towers on left side looking up canyon just past

Government Cheese

.

Protection

A standard rack with maybe an extra 2-4. 1x5 and 6 will be adequate if you are willing to bump gear for a long ways.
