(P1)Starting at the finger crack on the white face, move up to the OW and to the obvious belay ledge. (P2)climb out right under a small roof and gain the summit via some well protected 5.fun climbing in the chimney. 

  why the name: Before we met Geir and Marcy out  there we had been calling this Husky spire due to it's short fat appearance. That combined with the approach and the kind of climbing really felt like some good old fashioned mountaineering in the desert

Start up a wide-ish crack (grungy) then step left to the nice dihedral on the east face of Entrance Pinnacle; follow it to the top. 

  Descent: single rope rappel from a standard LDE rappel anchor (2 bolts w/quicklinks and leaver carabiners) on the east side of the tower, north (right) of where the route tops out.

A great way to the top of Entrance Tower! This old school fun route goes up the northeast face. Start in the chimney up to a bolt on the northeast face, then step left into the crack system. Head straight up, through a short left-facing dihedral and clip a second bolt. The crux lies just after the bulge, where you must make a committing move up and to the left. Continue on easier ground to the top.

A fun trad line that ascends the broken crack system and is generally good quality rock. The crux actually involves a solid hand jam, protecting nicely with a BD#3 and room for a #1 after you get above the bulge.

We refer to this formation as the Entrance Tower because its position makes it an easy landmark to locate the approach trail with.  However, this tower was climbed before we arrived at LDE (see the note below)  so if you happen to be the FA of this formation and have a name for it, please let us know. 

  Descent:  Locate the rappel anchor approx 10' to climber's right of the top of "The FA that Wasn't".  Rappel 90' to the base of the climb.
