This route is slighly overhanging with a complete variety pack of climbing along its 180'.

A short chossy approach pitch (5.7)leads to a ledge with a bolted station.

Pitch 2

-- At the bolted belay, a hand crack arches right. to  face moves to enter  a clean crack which is followed to near its end  A long reach to a crack (11-)  where it reaches a bolted belay at a stance.

Pitch 3

--off the belay  a few OW and fist moves climb past a good  bolt  and continue into  the clean bombay and flared chimney/slot with      fingers/face moves past a bolt. (11-) Above the crack widens enough to take a #4.5 or larger old style camalot near the exit. Continue up the corner to rappel anchors in a nice overhanging alcove below the top of the block

Descent:: a double rope rappel is needed to reach the ground... bring a tag line!  (pitch 2 belay anchors are likely unreachable from the overhanging rappel)

Skinny Puppy

Hallow Souls

Bonafide

Three pitch route left of Skinny Puppy up obvious crack to corner system. From top walk left 30' for first of 2 raps.

This route is located directly across canyon from the one-pitch stuff at Ice Cream Parlor.  It is on Space Tower, which is separated from the main cliff by a large chimney that faces NE.  The tower appears to touch the canyon wall at the top (it is actually separated by about an inch).

Hallow Souls involves wild full body stemming inside the chimney.  Begin by climbing 40 feet of easy choss to gain the clean crack system inside the chimney, on the main cliff.  One can belay just inside the chimney, or at a wonderful little ledge about 1/2 way up, or do the whole tower in one rope-stretching pitch (not recommended--there would be lots of rope drag and the top is somewhat run-out).

Near the top the rock becomes soft and brittle and the crack dies out.  Chimney out to the right to a good bolt, and continue until you can pull onto the tower side; a short hand crack leads to fixed anchors.  This top section is scary--the position is phenomenal!  Give yourself a long leash, tag the summit, and then make rap 50 meters to the ground.
