The corner crack on the right of the tower leads steeply into a chimney, where a steep move leads to the top.

An excellent route to do as the sun sets. An easy start leads to a steep finish. Gain the ledge on the front of The Tower, then follow the blocky crack above, passing an obvious overlap at the top.

This route supersedes the Tower of Orthank, which proved to be attached to the main face only by a small crescent of lighter rock. The route that remains is sustained and at the top of is grade. From the lowest point on the front face of The Tower, climb cracks just right of the left arête of Orthank.
