Access

The approach would be the same as the other Meal Time Towers, this is the lowest technical formation off the crest. See the photo below. (You could also approach from the Monte saddle, and side-hill under the crest.)

Southeast Face, YDS 5.6

The easiest route climbs up the SE face, the rock quality is good. Scramble to a grassy ledge on the SE face. The moves to there were low 5th. Climb a hollow flake from this ledge, this flake ends and you stand on it’s horn.

There’s two options here, a wider crack that climbs under a chockstone to the left of the summit (5.7) or a hand sized crack that climbs to the right of the summit (5.6). To reach the easier corner, traverse slab to climbers right. Climb easy terrain, with suitable pro, then sweet lay-backing for 20 feet, then mantle up a few ledges to reach the summit.

If you stay climbers left, short slab to the corner, then this crack starts #5 sized, narrows down to tips shortly, then widens back to #5. Lay-back/jam your way to under the chockstone, then mantle to the top of it. Easy climbing to the summit.
Plenty of suitable blocks for rappel, single 60m rope to the saddle. Single rack .3-#5.
