A view of this impressive tower from the road. Bon Jovi tragics may recognise this from one of their film clips.... The obvious corner system in the middle is taken by the megaclassic Kor Ingall's Route (5.9). If you're not a fan of offwidths it's probably worth considering the North Chimney (5.9) instead which also looks and sounds fantastic.
Same angle, this time showing the Priest at far left beside the large bluff of the Rectory.
