The Watchtower is by the Middle St Vrain, not the SSV. It's upstream from Violator Buttress, which is upstream from the confluence.

Description Suggestion

The Watchtower is a large imposing tooth-like formation with North-West exposure. The formation is not on private property according to OnX, but is adjacent to a private lot. Do not park across the bridge. You can walk across the bridge, but the property boundary lies just south-- at the start of the driveway. The Watchtower does hold a few routes including an excellent 2 pitch sport route called Highway Robbery (5.12b). The rock is overall very good, although not the cleanest in the canyon. Climbing on the large North face is largely on fine sharp edges, while the trad corner contains a decent crack system.
