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

This is the bulky, 200-foot-tall formation about a couple hundred yards southeast of Pixie Stick. The climb we did is on the north side where the rock is cleanest.

Getting There

Drive the White Rim just past Monument Basin. Park at a disused road blocked by a log. Hike south then east along the old road, then as this winds north, leave it and follow the east-facing rim and look for the tower. Eventually you'll see the skinny Pixie Stick and four bulkier towers in a line. This is the closest in of these. Either rap from the rim, hike down a long, easy gully at the end of the closed road, or find a steep scramble close to the Pixie Stick.
