DescriptionSun for most of day with late afternoon shade. Can be surprisingly hot on some days. Arguably the most secluded wall at Las Conchas because of the trees at the base and its position away from the trail. Nice place to escape when the jokers (I typed hikers but my iPhone auto-replaced it with jokers so I went with it) are walking around, asking too many questions, and starting to bum you out. Getting ThereApproach per the Leaning Tower and after crossing the last bridge by the Sponge keep going a bit further until you get the first really good view of the Tower (near a small boulder right by the trail). Turn right and head uphill on a trail through the oak to the obvious wall and tower/buttress. This trail may need some love as it could be overgrown by now.
