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
I don't know the tower or route name for sure but it is a nice, casual route with short drive and a short hike
The tower barely sits off the wall and has a bird beak like summit
If you are looking at the tower from the front of the prow the route starts to the right(roadside).
Climb a varied hand crack to a large ledge.Build a belay here. Then climb easy wide crack into the chimney behind the tower. Follow chimney to the summit putting protection in a finger crack inside the chimney.
