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

Pitch 1: Climb the chimney with a couple 5.9 cruxes weaving around big chock stones to a 2 drilled pin belay anchor 150’.

Pitch 2: Go down slightly from the anchor then step across to the tower. Two bolts around the corner lead left to a good crack. A fall clipping the first bolt wouldn’t be pretty. Follow this crack which gradually widens from 1 to 5. Follow the main crack as it arcs right. Mantle onto a ledge on the arete. Two bolts lead to some free climbing, protected by some horizontal cam placements. Two bolt anchor on top 130’. 5.7 C1

This tower surely goes all free(5.11 to 5.12- range). I was soloing and used a stick clip at the beginning of pitch one to reach the first bolt.

Also, if anyone knows the actual name of this tower or history of it let me know and I’ll change it.

Location

This tower is on the far left side of the Trad Wall. The route climbs the chimney on the south side that leads to the notch. Scramble 50’ up to the base of the chimney.
