Description

These two massive faces, separated in the middle by the Watchtower itself, beg to be climbed as seen from the drive into Arapiles. They are home to the Mount's best slab and low-angle face climbs, generally two to four pitches in length.

Getting There

Follow the main trail past the Pharos and turn off towards the left face or continue on to the Watchtower and right face, depending on your climb. Approach time: 10-20 minutes.
