I'm a beginner who has only climbed sport up to about 5.8/5.9 single pitch tagging along with friends, but I feel like this could be doable? I'm hoping to find someone willing to guide, I'm willing to pay, but I'm having a hard time finding someone to go with. I have a harness, helmet, and shoes. I'm in the Blanding area for a few weeks for work. I know it is quite different and much easier than the typical stuff out at Indian Creek but there's zero chance I'll get up any of those lol.

You're having a hard time finding a guide because South Six Shooter is not included on the permit. Anyone guiding it is doing so illegally.

What does this mean? From what I read this rock is on BLM land and is ok to climb, but if that's not true could you let me know?

South Six Shooter is open for non-commercial climbing, but the places guides can operate in Indian Creek are severely limited. South Six Shooter is not included on the permit for commercial guiding. 

Ancient Art would be a good option if you're looking for a relatively easy tower to climb with a guide. 

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
