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 such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek 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.

Description

Climb the crispy-edged crack in the east face of the tower to a ledge, then follow three bolts to the summit.

I french-freed a bit in the crack for a 5.9 C1 ascent, but future parties (if there ever are any) may opt for a 5.10 A0 experience.

Protection

For the crack, (2) .4, (2) .75-2, (4) 3, (1-2) 4, optional 5 and/or 6.

After the crack, there are three bolts of A0 to the top. We had aiders but you might be able to just pull on draws. A single 60m rope will get you down.
