Description:
Fun adventurouse climb up a crispy, slabby friction formation,thats shaped a little like a wizards hat.Descending down from the lookout trail is a better option than climbing the mossy,,chossy waterfall wall,and the hike in is faster and easier.Bolt finding is a little tricky.You cant see a lot of the bolts until your right on top of them or have passed them on your left or right 10ft. over.Loose rock,wear a helmet.Wizards Tower is a great warm up for its neghboring wall climb,Black Magic.Wizards Tower is rated 5.7 in the guide,but it is a seriouse climb for the grade.(feels more like 5.8-5.9,on lead).Descent Options:
Rap off backside with one 60m rope,or rap back down front with two ropes
