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

This is probably the coolest looking tower in Tusher Canyon and is roughly 270 feet tall. The climbs are trad mixed with aid. I have not climbed it yet, but am sure the view from the top is worth the time getting there. The guide book mentions bolts and fixed pitons on some of the routes, but don't count on them. This is soft rock, and their condition could be poor. There will be no waiting line for the climbs on this tower; there will most likely be no-one else anywhere. A big part of the appeal here is knowing you're climbing something few others have.

Getting There

The directions for Tusher Canyon will bring you right to it. The tricky part is getting to the canyon; from there, you can't miss it. Just keep driving the 4x4 roads, hopefully by jeep, southwest until you see it ahead on the right with Aeolian Tower just south of it. Existing jeep roads work their way near enough for an easy approach. There is no need to play redneck by tearing up the desert getting there.
