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

another sic fun desert dirt pile. crazy tunnel thru a window. a couple more routes possible, including a cherry.

Getting There

from above the waterfall in the main wash there are two options. approach as for Sandy's Toe and then head up canyon as soon as you gain the rim. or hike up the stream bed until it's possible to escape out left (pulling a couple 3rd class moves) and head up and right to the tower.
To escape the canyon, head back towards sandy's toe staying on the rim. head straight to the point at the mouth of the canyon. cut down some slots and then around the point to the right and into the wash with the rap station.
