Warning 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 DetailsDrop down

Description Suggest change

Pitch 1:Climb a splitter crack to a large ledge.(5.10+)
Pitch 2:Follow the obvious line up the ridge, past a bolt ladder, to another large ledge.(5.8,C1)
Pitch 3:Continue to the summit passing loose rock.(5.8)

Descent:Rappel from the summit to the top of pitch 1 and then to the ground on the east side.

Note:We combined pitches 2 and 3.

Location Suggest change

This climb starts on the west side of the formation. To access, walk to the ridge on the north side of the towers and then 4th class along the east side of Putterman on the Throne to the notch between the two towers. Pull a 5.9 boulder move on the right side to reach the notch. The route starts just around the corner on the right.

Protection Suggest change

Standard desert free rack. Plus a Baby angle for the bolt ladder, or a stick clip, in case the angle is no longer there.
