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

Scramble up some easy terrain to the actual tower. Climb up and right to a little roof and a rotten wide crack. Work up and left to a thin crack then up to some bolts. Continue up to a two bolt anchor just below the summit.

Location

Hike to the notch between Cerro del Perro and Hair of the Dog Spire, then traverse along the south side of the tower 4th or easy 5th to a little ledge on the SE side. This is where we belayed.
