Description
This is the faux tower protruding from the same formation of rock that makes up The Dungeon proper. Unlike the rest of the walls' continued steep nature, The Dungeon Tower features a mild slab to a dead horizontal roof with slight over vertical climbing above.
The routes get shade until late afternoon while the belay gets plenty of good sun before noon. It is toprope accessible by hiking above the feature and rapping off a large tree. From the tree down to the the anchors is about 30 feet. A 60m rope likely won't reach the ground from the tree.

Getting There
Take the Climber's Access trail all the way up to Marmot Tower. Once at the base of its obvious wide crack, hike directly across the short, marked trail to the base of the Dungeon Tower.
