| climbed south six-shooter w/aaron on a gorgeous day! fun opening pitch brought us to some difficulties higher up. the final mantle onto the summit seemed much harder than 5.6 without some aiders, including a #2 cam placement. overall a fantastic climb in a stunning location! yeah, i'd do it again.... jamie | |

| This was my first muli-pitch climb and my first desert tower. Too bad it was 35 degrees at the start of the climb or it would have been a lot funner. It felt tougher than 5.6, probably due to the cold. | |

| We found the approach to be very well cairned, quick, and easy with one or two 4th class moves. We climbed the 5.6 route first thing in the morning and it was windy, shadowed, and very cold. It was fun but I wish it would have been warmer. My fingers and toes were numb which made the climbing more difficult than it should have been. Nevertheless, a great experience on my first desert tower. | |

| The crux of the route is definitely picking your way through the bottom ledges and the upper scree. Once on the route, the climbing was fun, and the views from the top is an incredible 360-degree view of the Indian Creek / Canyonlands area with North Sixshooter and the Bridger Jack Spires in the distance. | |

| Joe Slansky, his sis (Jill) and I climbed the 5.6 route. We made it an adventure by mt. biking in with our gear from Hwy 211, stashing the bikes at the base of scree, and hiking/climbing the rest of the way. Jill set a refrigerator sized boulder loose on the way down... they tumbled and rolled together, but miraculously it lifted enough as it rolled over her. Pushing the bike with her on it was the toughest part of my day! | |

| A fun, simple climb with incredible views into Canyonlands and Indian Creek. While preparing for the third pitch a nasty hail/rain storm blew in for about 30 minutes. We just had to sit it out and continued climbing with numb hands after it passed. | |

| My first desert climb and first trip to the moad area. A fun climb and nice tower, but the loose sandy scree to the base of the climb kinda sucked. PICS | |
