Then straight up and left to the anchor right below the stuck rock. Last pitch goes through below the stuck rock, then up to the summit with the trees.

4 out of 5 stars Really nice climb on a great looking tower.

First pitch is 35m, second 15m, so rather short. Funny 'tunnel' in the last pitch.
Swapped lead, led 1 4 5.
