Description
The area is home to routes #56 to #81 on the park's route list. Many of the routes are beginner-level climbing with a few moderate routes thrown in there. This area is broken up into three towers known as "Cave Tower", "Middle Tower", and "Back Tower". These towers offer a variety of climbing styles, including crack climbing, aretes, roofs, overhangs, and face climbing.
Getting There
When looking at the park's route map, this area is the three "towers" on the west side of the main canyon. When walking down the stairway, take a left at the first fork, then the towers will be on the right starting with cave tower then split by a very narrow canyon is middle tower, then lastly, with very few documented climbs is back tower.
