Location This semi hidden tower (but visible from the road) is not on the Friction slab ,but this maybe the closest crag , The tower is on the other side of the road up a small canyon with a pull off on the left side of the road . The pull off at the head of the canyon is 1.8 miles passed Newspaper rock when driving into the creek. It takes only a few mins to walk to the tower from the road.
Protection A few cams,quick draws

| Great tower to tic after a day at the creek. Super cruiser and fun. Lots of stoppers for hanger-less bolts. |

| You should see the bolt ladders in Rifle, and lots of smells....Here many climbers seem to practice aid climbing with sometimes bits of free in between bolts the only difference they do not use aiders.I also notice lots of aid climbing on the so called free crack climbing of Indian Creek. So aid climbing is still alive and well,more so among Sport climbers and the Sport/Trad crack climbing areas of Indian Creek. |

| I like to call that "fr-aid" climbing... "free from the waist down." Not free, not aid but most likely afraid. |
