This is 2 pitches. One of the quickest routes to the top of the tower. I don't recall the length of each pitch, but I'm sure they can tell you at the ranger station. It is rated 5.8, I believe, and you'll have a blast if you're a solid crack climber. I climbed it with virtually zero crack experience and it pushed me hard, but I loved it.
Also, it's a scramble and a bit of a traverse to get to the bottom of pitch 1. The route ends at the Meadow, so you'll also have a scramble from there to the top of the tower.
Brave men..salute
Thanks for the video, Ryan. I'm looking into this climb in the coming months. It helps to see some of the route.
FA: Pat Padden & Rod Johnson in the early 70s. Yay, Minnesota boys!

Dang, I can't even watch this. Makes my nether regions pucker.
how many pitches or meters (or feet) is this route and what grade?
