Description

Plainview Tower is the large, detached block at the mouth of Red Canyon, looker's left when gazing up at Red Canyon from South Camp Road. The final 40' to the summit is separated from the rim by 10'-15'. It is on the opposite side from Snake Charmer and a little bit further down canyon.

Getting There

From the Junction side entrance, drive up to Cold Shivers lookout turn around and head back the other way. Park at the 1st pulloff you come to, approximately 1/4 mile from Cold Shivers parking lot. Head out cross country to the rim & walk the edge till the tower comes into view. The drop in is approximately 5-10 minutes from the car. It's a great location to get three quick pitches in the shade and be done by 1 in the afternoon.
