Frankenstein
Utah
> Southeast Utah
> Little Valley
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
Frankenstein is a great rarely climbed tower. Beware of loose/rotten rock. There are opportunities for additional routes on this tower, although I would be surprised if one ever gets put up.
Getting There
"Take the left fork off Gemini Bridges road from the Little Valley. Frankenstein is about a quarter mile up that canyon. The fork is just before you reach The Gooney Bird."(Stolen from Sam's post of the Bride) Frankenstein is the obvious tower to the left of the Bride when looking at it from the road.
