crackrn and crackmd celebrate achieving the summit of South Six Shooter on a beautiful April day.

On top of South Six Shooter after climbing the South Face. A nice, relaxing outing after 2 days of getting worked on 5.10 splitters! Some loose/crumbly rock on the route, but a great summit! Short enough you could do this and then the S. Face Direct (5.9) or TR the 5.10 Diagonal Crack at the base.

This is the 5.6 mantle cuux on the South Face, assuming you follow the reccommended route. I climbed a short crack just below this that felt 5.7ish, so the rope would run a little straighter.

after botching the approach 4 yrs ago. South Six Shooter went smoothly.

ok so it's been there since the anasazi, but I never heard mention of this stunning splitter, if you've made the hike for the 5.6 summit you might as well take it for a ride!

The Six Shooters in the fall at Indian Creek. What an incredible view from Reservoir wall.

These are the six shooter towers in Canyonlands, NP. The one on the left is the South Six Shooter and the one on the right is the North Six Shooter

This is South Sixshooter, the easiest tower to climb in the Utah desert and the best moderate route at Indian Creek. The standard route goes at well protected fun 5.6 - a desert rarity.
