Description
The main face faces due west, but there are many aspects to this choss tower. However the one route that was established on it faced west, but only 1/4 of it remains.
The rock quality SEEMED good, but then it cleaved in half on a cold October morning in 1999

Getting There
From Cedar City find HWY 14. Take this up the canyon for about 7 miles. After the double lanes end and the parking for Latency Tower and Bootleg Butte goes by, keep an eye on the left hand side of the road. There is a "suicide jump" that looks like a crazed person could Thelma and Louise themselves into the gorge. Park on the suicide jump.
After parking, literally walk over and slide downhill to the stream. A short uphill walk will bring you to this choss spitting tower (it was still raining softball sized rocks in 2001 when i walked over to it)
