Continue up the crack for 30 feet then move right on the arete to a face. Pull past a mossy bulge to reach the top and rappel from a tree to descend. Steepness:

Does anyone have any better beta on this crag? My gf and I searched for this thing for hours yesterday and it may have been due to the tree cover but we could see no OBVIOUS anything. We ended up at purple valley and symphony wall trying to find this tower....any help???

I found the butress, no problem, but there was no route fitting the description. We did two of the 3 possible routes and walked all over both sides a couple times. The route that starts on the point where the pinnacle is is really nice for 30 feet or so. The topout is stellar.

make sure you come here in the winter/late fall for your first time so you can see these from the road. it looks like there are 4, but the first "2" (from the left) are actually connected by a saddle.
