Red line indicates the flake that formed the chimney, and belay ledge. Posting this before people start the pilgrimage to this tower.

IIRC, the bottom half doesn't have the same amount of cracks - you're climbing for some time before you first reach a series of horizontals and later the actual crack. My guess is that if it does go, it'll be considerably harder.

Bummer. I really loved that sequence of doing a 360 degree barrel roll in the chimney. Bummer. I really loved that sequence of doing a 360 degree barrel roll in the chimney.

It was visibly larger than the pictures on the proj beta page. It also made some really spooky noises when we were rappelling, like maybe some of the boulders at the bottom were settling with an associated "boom" felt through the flake. Yikes.

Climbed this last April with a friend that convinced me to lead the first pitch even though I was pretty scared of it. Infinitely more glad that I did now that it's gone! It was my first big desert tower experience, and probably one of the coolest climbs I've ever done.
