Ascent Notes for: South Face - 5.6 Average Rating : 4.30/5

mostly a hike. don't bring a big piece all the way up there. I have no idea where you'd put it.

not much real climbing on this, but the last 20 ft is in your face for 5.6

not a whole lot of climbing for all the hiking to get there, but great scenery. The mantle is at least a 5.8 move.

Decided to climb this by moonlight and watch the sunrise. Awesome experience and easy climbing (only put on my climbing shoes for the mantle move). It was a bit chilly being april and exposed up high but overall it was fun. Note to those trying to find the approach. It's in a wide wash where the mesa comes closest to the wash.

nice chill hike

Climbing went smooth only put in 2 pieces for the first 2 pitches. I suggest soloing the first pitch and a half if you are comfortable climbing 5.4 without a rope. The second part of pitch 2 is a hand crack I would build an anchor there and then climb the last half of pitch 2 and pitch 3 as one. Last pitch is the only real climbing on the route and is fun, the mantle is a bit of a mind job as the rock below that is holding your pro is rather suspect! Pull the move, clip the bolt, grab some jugs, do your best Tom Cruise iron cross impression, maybe even include the heel hook and then enjoy the great view at the top. We rapped off the top with a double rope to the bottom.

very mellow

great for a rest day, nice hike up

None

Fun rest day romp to the top for a first tower. It looks bigger than it is! Eyed the 10 crack on the rap down, will be back for that!
