Looking to climb some towers.

Heading out to Moab area this spring with the girlfriend and looking to climb a tower or two. She has never done much multi-pitch or crack climbing, but is a real strong sport/boulderer. Anyone have any recommendations for easier tower, multi-pitches, or intro climbs in the area to get her familiar with some of the systems, technique, and to go over a few things before trying to tackle larger endeavors? Thanks! |

Molar Tower, Root Canal, 5.8
bolted chimney one pitch, on River Road, no approach |

Dow, nice selection. Would also add North Chimney on Castleton and Otto's Route on Independence. |

Awesome! Thanks so much for advice. I will definitely look into all of the climbs listed. |

For that matter, South Six Shooter peak (and anything else in Indian Creek) is also around an hour drive from Moab to the start of the stout, aerobic approach. Of course around here, that's just down the street a little bit! |
