Description

The Watchtower Proper is the actual tower shaped formation above The Watchtower Butresses main floor. These intimidating routes are almost as old as the tower itself ! Pioneered in the early 80's all routes, including Lipstick on a Pig, require gear and a solid lead head.

Get up there and get at em' !!

Getting There

The Watchtower Proper can be accessed by two ways. The first approach requires a small amount of scrambling via a trail that starts just west of Double Cross. The second, more preferred approach is by climbing one of the four routes on The Watchtower's lower, main-north face, such as Broken Serenity or Garden of Eden.
