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
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring.

Description
I did this route 10 years ago so the quality could be different. This a cool tower with an interesting route up the "North Face". Locate the ledge where the route begins...Pitch one starts with some bouldery moves and then goes left on mostly good rock to an anchor (10). Pitch 2 goes up a cool scoop to a sweet arete slapping boulder problem protected by a good bolt (crux, good pro)...Now for the excitement...Traverse right on a horizontal system and unload a bunch of gear. Scratch and claw up a heinous silty bulge with a crack going through it (11- R, arches-scary). Last pitch wraps its way around to the left passing some fixed junk and joins up with the south route near the top (10). In all its an OK route with a cool bouldery crux...But, it IS a nice tower!!
