Towers to Climb In JTree
|
|
Curious, are there any good towers/pinnacles to climb in Joshua Tree? I've climbed headstone, but is there anything else thats good and free-standing like that? |

moosedog tower
in indian cove is pretty fun and prominent. hidden tower is pretty pointy too. |
|
|
The Aiguille de Joshua Tree of course! |

Speaking of towers. Does anyone know the name of this cool feature near "The Blob" in Hidden Valley? Reminds me of two Easter Island Motus standing back to back. |

Sidewinder? |

It’s part of sidewinder rock in Steve’s canyon. Skinny dip gets you to the top. https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105723448/skinny-dip |

Lots of cool towers in Josh. The Weenie and Red Obelisk are two in the So Wonderland near each other. Owl Pinnacle on top of Diarrhea Dome is cool. |
|

Randy's list is a good one. I'd suggest the Owl as he mentions. Here are a few more tower like summits to climb. |
