This is three moves. Start on a good good hold with lousy feet. Move upward with bigger moves to positive holds, still with lousy feet. It was a fun respite from trad climbing in Devil's Kitchen.

Climb sandy hands to a bulging sandy, loose, offwidth.  Grovel to the top.

Climb fingers to hands until the crack widens.  Pass the offwidth to the summit. It is short and a little dirty.

Climb a 5.7 handcrack in a corner, then step left and climb through a bulging handcrack (crux), to a 15 foot chimney.

Scramble up the backside away from the road. It's pretty fun. From the base of the tower, climb up 25 feet of rubble-filled handcrack to the saddle between the south most two of the towers. From here, you might as well tag the outside tower - summit and return to the notch (an easy scramble, no gear, no anchor). From the notch, make a long step across into some committing and unprotectable face moves. It's over quickly.

Descent: I don't remember what the anchor is, but it is sketchy. 1x 70m rope does it easily.

This is a short climb that starts with stemming moves then moves to a finger crack.

Pitch 1:  Climb sandy fingers and face for 15' and then tight hands in a left facing corner.  Pass the offwidth to a couple of drilled angles and loose I-bolt.

Pitch 2:  Move right off the belay and make 5.7 moves on soft rock to the top of the formation and clip a bolt. Walk right to the edge of the formation and either lower or down climb 6' of exposed class 4 to a small ledge.  Reach across the chasm to the detached tower (great exposure) and clip the first pin of a six bolt ladder.  Aid up the bolt ladder to a horizontal #1 Camalot placement above the last pin and grovel to two drilled angles.  This is a very nice summit with great views and definitely worth the first 10' of mank on pitch 1.
