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

pitch 1; 5.9 chimney with poor pro to a roof(turn on the left) to a ledge. Pitch 2. Up a 5.8 crack, then behind a flake, up to anothe ledge. Up a bolt ladder, some free moves, to the summit.

Location

Just off the dirt road, on the left; one of the first towers you come to. Rap from summit to top of pitch 2... then one double rope rap to the ground.
