Second to last pitch, slightly sketchy rock at start, dihedral requires that you place good gear at start and punch it for a few moves...

Route Overlay Coyote Tower.

Here is a quick, best recollection of the Coyote Tower route. Better than anything we could find before we attempted the route. Have Fun!

"Are you allright, do yo need a rescue?" came the insults from samaritans far below.

One of the best sandstone desert towers anywhere. Awesome climb. Mega-fantastic!

Surpassing the infamous pod at the top of P2. "Remember, this is fun!"

Pitch 4.

Starting up Pitch 6.

Looking across the gap. You can jump across and climb to the top of Courthouse Butte.

Overview of the second pitch.

Phil at the second bulge of P1. anchors are next to the little tree above him.

view of approach. hike on the trail past the tower (all the way to a slick rock wash) until the vegetated ramp comes into view. This leads you to the perch on the far left where the route starts.

The 180' rappel from the top of Pitch 3, which goes to the top of Pitch 1. You could probably also rap the route.

Looking at the pitch of climbing to the top of Courthouse Butte, if you make the jump across at the top of Coyote Tower.

Dreamy climbing on Pitch 5.

Pitch 6.

A quick sketch of one of the ways to approach Coyote Tower.

Pitch 5.

It can be a bit awkward....

My favorite pitch....

The summit is a very contemplative place.

Pitch 3 climbs behind the tower and then to the top of it.

Dan Millis is beginning the climb's overhanging crux on P2.

Sunset on P5

Looking down from the summit of Coyote Tower

Dylan leads p1, good shot of protection options.

Tucker Tech on pitch one..a bit heads up.
