Description

This is small tower or sorts, that is identified by a smooth face on the north side that houses the route My First First, 5.9

This side of the rock gets morning shade and afternoon sun and is easily accessible by either a wash/trail from the parking lot via Three Pile Island, or downhill from Hidden Tower.

Getting There

Follow the Real Hidden Valley interpretive loop trail to Hidden Tower. With one's back to Hidden Tower look down into the wash and towards the parking lot and this formation is obvious.
