I can't say I'm surprised, I've long suspected that there were such "hidden ranked" 5th class towers, i.e. towers not on the ranked 5th class list but which on further inspection meet all of the criteria to be on the list. I've seen a few suspects in various desert canyons over the years but haven't bothered to see if they have a closed contour, 300+ feet of prominence, etc.
But
that one, ugh...It's not so much the difficulty to climb (although in my current state it'd be a struggle as a free climb), it's the rock climb vs. adventure climb that's disappointing. No adventure in figuring out the route or access, a purely athletic endeavor. Again, ugh...thought I was done with that. Oh well, time to hit the gym...
BTW, congrats on your ascent, Ryan!
