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.

Description

Block Top is right next to Islet in the Sky.

Getting There

The tower can be approached from the White Rim (drive past Monster Tower until you spot Block Top and Islet on the right) or from above (harder to find but the easier approach - use maps).
