This is an excellent multipitch climb up the west face of Exemplar Tower.

Pitch 1: scramble up easy terrain to a hand crack/face climb. Set up a belay on a semi-ledge that fits about 3 people.

Pitch 2: from the ledge, move up on the finger crack/face climb and use the left arete for help. Then trend right for more fun climbing, and boulder the blocks at the top of the tower.

The first pitch follows the main crack up a dihedral between the black and red/green rock faces. There is a set of bolts above a ledge with enough space for two people. The second pitch is directly above the first set of bolts. There is a bolted anchor at the top of the route.

This funky crack/face climb navigates the greenish section of the tower on the far left. Start in the corner, then go up the vertical crack to a section of face. The climb finishes on the crack that separates a detached block at the top.

This is quality crack and face climbing. Start the same as

Orville

, but follow the left-facing corner and trend to the right upper crack system ending on a small pinnacle.

This is a pretty easy crack system with a crossover crux when trending left to the upper crack.

Thor follows a crack between a North-facing and West-facing slab. It tops out on a zig-zag crack on the North-facing slab.
