Do it as a single pitch. Best route on the tower by far. The crux is full on at this grade. More like 5.10+ if you can nail it, I fell the first time. Bolt protects the crux move for me. My parnter thought the crux was below it. Either way, a few hard slabby moves gets you to a great hand jug. The more interesting finish is up and right vs the 5th class left. The first half of the climbing is quick and easy getting to that bolt.

Beautiful.
For me the crux was after the bolt, on which I took a fall. Changing back from face to crack was the problem (not enough crack experience). Followed the second pitch, for which we went right, which is not the original second pitch, I think.

Crux before the bolt
Good climb but not sustained, one move wonder before the bolt protected crux, it blanks out.
