Jacks' Tower looking at it from the North.

Description 

This route climbs the north face up a series of meandering cracks which lead to a diagonal seam protected by three bolts, then on to the summit.

This is a very fun desert tower climb up good rock in a very non-threatening atmosphere. The 'table-top' is a very nice place to be.

Location 

If you are able to see Turkey Tower, and follow the road that leads to its base, Jacks' is due north. There are a few roads that lead to it. It is also in the valley that Eagle Canyon South Road dumps into. But driving the Eagle Canyon south road in a truck is NOT recommended. This tower is located south of Swaseyland and north of Turkey Tower.

Protection 

One set of cams from a Red Alien to a Yellow Camalot. Above the bolts there are two great middle to big nut placements (not really needed by that point.)
