Description

A tower that visibly leans, hence the name. The rock is nicely featured with lots of ripples and is well bolted. It would be a good introduction to the area with lots of climbs in close proximity and two of the easier leads (5.9) in the area. The ripples are great since they give your fingers a rest if you are feeling crimped out.

Getting There

One of the closer walls to the camp site. Will be on your left as you are walking into the main climbing area toward Patina Wall. Scramble up over large boulders or tunnel below them to approach.
