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
Not sure of the history or name of this one but thought I’d give it a name so it wasn’t just another “unknown tower”. Let me know the real name and I’ll change it.
This route climbs up the west side via an obvious crack. Eventually the crack ends and you cut out right on face. Some gear can be placed in horizontals in this section. Anchor on top is a sling boulder. This surely goes all free at 5.10 or 5.10+.
Location
Start up the Hidden Valley trail. Just before the first meadow cut left on a trail that heads up the talus cone through the cliff bands and to the rim above. Once on top cut left(south) past ‘Pointless of Moab’ until you reach the tower. At one point you have to go a bit west to avoid getting cliffed out.
