Warning Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Climb a very easy crack via free moves or clean aid for about 10 feet to a ledge. Walk left about 10 feet to the crack with pins. Follow this up 10 feet until it traverses right to another pin, then pull over the top onto a very loose summit.

This is a good route if you are really bored, looking for an easy tower to solo, or if you just want an introduction to desert rock.

On an interesting note. You will see two bolts with hangers on the opposing wall from the tower along with two bolts without hangers on the tower. According to Desert Rock III, a tyrolean traverse was set up here for a commercial. Seems like it was probably a lame commercial.

Location Suggest change

Walk up into the saddle on the side of the formation hidden from the road, the route is obvious (look for pins.)

Protection Suggest change

A couple of cams for the crack, some small nuts and/or cheater stick, and some quickdraws. There are about 5 fixed pins on the route.
