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

As the name implies, Roadside Fling Tower is perched on the edge of Spring Canyon Bottom Road a quarter mile after it begins its descent into Spring Canyon. What you dont get from the name is that on the other side of this tower lies a precipitous drop into Spring Canyon and a beautiful vista down to the Green River.

It was first climbed in 2000 by Andy Roberts and Jason Repko when they put up The Things We Do For Love. The route name says it all for this one. If youre into climbing obscure desert towers and dont mind the hardships that go along with that then youll probably have a great time like I did. If you prefer the clean splitters of Indian Creek, this will not be your cup of tea.
