P. Ross on the summit of The Black Tower.


Description 

This tower takes the cake as the loosest of the I-70 Towers. So loose, a groove was worn into the Towers wall by the first ascenders. In an article on this area, Pete Taketa described this tower as a future horrific nightmare.


Location 

Located at the west end of the Mt. Garfield formations. See area photo.


Protection 

Fixed nails, odd bolt, ties off required.
