Start on the north side of the chimney and walk inside. Climb up the chimney that is protected by a crack.  Mantel onto a ledge or the shoulder of the spire.  Clip a drilled pin which is a great foot hold, and  climb to the summit.

Chimney Route

Fools Gold

Fools Gold climbs the splitter on the face of the tower away from the wall. Climb up crumbly lighter rock with a thin ass crack to a roof bulge where the rock & gear improves greatly. Climb the slightly off vertical thin crack through the sizes to a wide pod and pull up onto the ledge and climb the last 15ft shared with Chimney Route protected by a lone drilled angle.

I opted to bring a bit more gear to lead this route with the potential choss factor. I doubt this splitter has eva peeped an ascent wit tha amount of sand n' loose shiznit I was able to clean out. The bottom is poor rock quality but the upper varnished section is better, I cleaned most of what I could on lead and then rapping back off so it's ready to go, rip a lap, fun one.
