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
climb a short bolt ladder to the lip. from there i lassoed a small broken stump about the size of a red bull can and 1/2 aided, 1/2 freed over the lip. we added a pin and left a runner on it after the fact just behind the stump. quick, fun, easy little bag and tag.
we hear the FA of the tower was about a year and a half ago by some highliner friends of andy lewis. we understand they tossed a rope over and jugged up. thats all we know. our route, the floridian, was so named because Orr and Noy are from florida.

Location
3 miles up 313 from 191. obvious on the right just before the switchbacks. from some talus, just past the tower, hike benches past, then back and up to the base. start on the notch side (opposite the road). looks like a smaller version of mexican hat. one double 70 rap get you back to the start bench.
