Description Suggest change

This is the obvious tower just to the south of the camping area in Hermit Canyon. The tower can provide for some shelter from the wind depending on it's direction. From the campsite it looks like it is a steep tower, but it is an easy hike to the top if you come from the south side and hike up the ridge. Currently there are two and a half routes on the tower's more slabby east side (which is called Whoville), but the north and west sides of the tower look like they could also provide for some fun (and steeper/harder) routes.

Getting There Suggest change

Walk south down the road from the campsite at the mouth of Hermit Canyon, cross over the wash and hike up the hill to the obvious tower.
