Description 

Set directly up and off of the The Watchtower's main floor are two distinct tiers. The first has an older, more traditional feel with routes such as the ground up led Total Ramon and the fully traditional gear route Steel Reserve.

The second tier has a more well-protected, new school touch with the most recently bolted Conflict (2004) and the ever-growing, ever-popular Uncensored Society.

Primarily a sport crag, The Watchtower Tiers offers a little bit of everything. Littered with cracks, the options can be limitless--clip em' or skip em'. Warm-up on Imperial, or Uncensored Society, then test your skills on the walls more challenging test pieces.


Getting There 

Built above the The Watchtower's primary trail and set just east of Total X is an obvious, well-constructed tier. The first route you'll encounter here is Imperial.

Featured Route For Watchtower Tiers
The joys of the onsight: finding out that your greasy partners left a nice layer of fat on the crux holds and having to resort to the brush mid-sequence.

Condor 5.12  UT : Wasatch Range : ... : Watchtower Tiers
Really a variation to Uncensored Society. Climb to the first bolt on that route and then go straight right to the Condor crux. Surmounting that move puts the leader in a small right-facing corner. Follow this feature for four more bolts before rejoining Uncensored Society. NOTE: the route name - depending on your wingspan, the grade could vary a great deal. Props and thanks to Kelley Bethea for being a big part of this route's creation....[more]   Browse More Classics in UT
