The Snafflehound

Wyoming > Shell Canyon > Granite Creek Towers

Description

A squat flat-top tower neighboring the Whistlepig. It's uphill face presents the only obvious weakness, as the other aspects are all vertical and largely devoid of features. There is a striking thin crack splitting the downhill face which could be a potential aid line. About 50' on the shorter uphill face and 60'-75' on the other sides. Again, lousy climbing but a cool little tower. Also named after the local marmots.
