Description:

Best pitch on the Tower? Take the Tower Trail counter clockwise passing the large fallen column on the east side of the trail. A dirt trail will head of to the left, follow this up to the base and then head left to the East Buttress. Short first pitch climbs to top of pillar (30 ft, 5.6). 2nd pitch (155 ft) steps right to instant exposure to gain a beautiful finger to hand crack. Gear anchor at the of the buttress in horizontal crack. Rap via Casper College/Burning Daylight to the left.

Boulder problem traverse into thin hands then perfect hands. Great exposure.

Great route! I've followed it once and led it once, and I'd suggest it to anyone. The crux is the right slanting finger crack at the beginning of the second pitch.
