Here is a view of the Wolf Mother on the approach.


Description 

This tower is one of the smaller towers in the Dillon Pinnacles. It offers good free climbing and has potential for at least a few more routes.


Getting There 

Follow the trail to a interpretive sign over looking the pinnacles. The Wolf Mother is visible from here. Continue on the trail to the first obvious wash. Follow the wash up hill past a small turd pile to The Wolf Mother.

Ben, you are nuts! I think I'd wait a couple of million years for those babies to get metamorphosed. Have you done any routes on the manky cliffs on the West end of town just up from the confluence. All of that stuff is undifferenciated volcanic debris. How the H do you protect it? (Edit - Come to think of it, it's a lot like Lizard Head, and I didn't like that one either)

You need to get together with Paul Gardner and Ross (Thing of Beauty Towers in Palisades) to do some route development, they'd probably love it here.

I have not gotten on the cliffs right out of town but we put up a line the other day on the cliff band above HWY 92 on the way to the black. Some of the rock up there reminds me of Gods Crag. As for protecting The Wolf Mother there is gear behind cobble stones and between them, plus the fixed pin.

The Dillon Pinnacles would look like solid granite to Paul Ross and Gardner after what they have been climbing.
