Description Suggest change

Lost Tower is a distinct formation southeast of Rockfellow Dome & Bastion Towers

Getting There Suggest change

To access routes on the SW side follow the standard approach to Rockfellow Dome and continue past Bastion Towers and Hawk Pinnacle. The routes begin near the Hawk Pinnacle - Lost Tower saddle.

The SE face is best approached via the Upper Lost Canyon Trail branch off of the main trail, before Waterfall Dome, and is home to the classics "Riding the Rails" (5.10), "White Lines Direct" (5.9 R), as well as the Peter Croft line "White Line Fever" (5.12). 

It is possible to get to the East/SE Face from Bastion Towers by circumnavigating clockwise around the formation but this involves a bit of downclimbing (or a short rappel) and bushwacking, and deposits you onto the 4th class slab eventually leading to the start of "K-Town Girls" (5.10+).
