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

An obscure 300' tower with a nice free climb on good Wingate.

Getting There

The tower stands out across the Green River from the Canyonlands NP boundary, upriver of Taylor Canyon and Charlie Horse Needle. Cross the river at the park boundary and bushwhack through unpleasant riparian veg.
