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

Cenotaph Spire is the tower detached from the mesa between the Tombstone and Lost World Butte. The lower rock is munge and fairly scary, but the upper pinnacle is beautiful and classic. Very cool summit.

Getting There

Park along the road just past the Tombstone, and hike to the bench along the mesa south of the tower itself. The route starts from the end of this bench. 10 minute approach.
