Unfortunate route
This thing looks good, but it requires a move of the top of the tower which is so loose that the top of it moves when you touch it.
So we angled right and up the next route to the right. Unfortunately, this route had a big hollow flake on it that you can see light behind on both sides , so we angled again to the next route to the right. It was solid enough for us to go on to the top.
