Access Issue: RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas.
Details
WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.
RAPTOR CLOSURES: please be aware of seasonal raptor closures. They occur annually in the spring. Indian Creek Raptor Closure walls include: Echos, The Wall, Far Side, Original Meat, Tenderloins, Second Meat, First Meat, Selfish, Six Star, Cliffs of Insanity, Public Service Wall, Disappointment Cliffs, Fin Wall, Broken Tooth, Cat Wall, Slug Wall, Reservoir Wall, Critic’s Choice.

Description
Climb a very easy crack via free moves or clean aid for about 10 feet to a ledge. Walk left about 10 feet to the crack with pins. Follow this up 10 feet until it traverses right to another pin, then pull over the top onto a very loose summit.
This is a good route if you are really bored, looking for an easy tower to solo, or if you just want an introduction to desert rock.
On an interesting note. You will see two bolts with hangers on the opposing wall from the tower along with two bolts without hangers on the tower. According to Desert Rock III, a tyrolean traverse was set up here for a commercial. Seems like it was probably a lame commercial.
