| d_shorb | a small clean line amongst giant mud pillars! | |
| climbing was both clean and easy compared to wahat i pictured it'd be. the toughest climbing is the bolted face that accesses the walkway up top. a good chimney route. One awkward move once clipped into the top's firt bolt too... woah. | |

| A real doozy up beyond the chimney. Makes you want to spill the beans off the side. | |

| One of the best climbs I've done. When we arrived at the base of the route, we were the 6th party of the day - two were on the route, one was rapping the route, and two more parties showed up right behind us. Looking forward to climbing it again. | |

| not as heady as I was told it was. The exposure doesn't seem too bad after having tried the Titan | |

| emilie | first desert climb Date Climbed: Oct 10, 2007 | |
| This was my first climb in the Moab area (or any desert really - I prefer high-altitude glacier climbing mainly). My bfriend was prepping for the 24 Hour of Moab race so I hired a guide and climbed Ancient Art as well as a few routes on Wall Street. To me, the exposure was pretty intense and I was just following. We had the route to ourselves but had an audience of hikers down below screaming "Oh my God! There are people up there!" :-) | |

| Can you buy this much fun? I doubt it. I agree that the first pitch goes at 5.10a, no need to aid it (unless you are from CA and don't like cobblestone mixed with sand). Decent little nubins here and there through 3 bolts. By far the toughest free climbing is that 3rd short face pitch with a tough move or two (think left, not bolt line). The final pitch was a blast. We each had to lead it of course. It was interesting going first, not knowing exactly what lay ahead. Spooky exposure, but tons of fun and easy climbing. | |

| I have heard a lot of horror stories about the rock/mud of the Fisher Towers. I didn't truly believe them until now. This is the most climbed route in the Fishers, and should be clean of loose rock by now right? Wrong. I believe all the stories now. Don't let this stop you from climbing the route. It is an easy (the climbing is not 5.11, but is really no harder than 5.10) climb, with a short approach, good protection, and the most spectacular summit in the desert. The mantle onto the diving board is exciting on the way up, and even better on the way down. I truly felt like I was being made to walk the plank. | |

| Climbed with Liz on a windy day. We both didn't think any of the free climbing was harder than 10a but still enjoyed the whole route. | |

| Super fun. Wind scared other parties away, and scared me as I walked across toward the diving board. | |

| And what a classic! Led every pitch free and it felt great! Scary last pitch and I opted to skirt the board and clip the lower piton. If you do this make sure to use a long runner or you will have a lot of rope drag. Two 60s will get you to base from the top of the third pitch. Fun and mega-classic route! Dan | |

| busy route but rightfully so. Like hkutuk this was an Indian Creek related trip, only we capped the trip with this route. I lead/freed all the pitches which was scary. This one is a must do! | |

| hkutuk | Awesome Summit Date Climbed: Apr 28, 2006 | |
| The most exciting summit I ever climbed. En route to Indian Creek decided to spend a day sampling a desert tower. Met up with Dan and Dave from Colorado Springs. Short hike in after a brief night sleep after flying into SLC and driving down to Moab all night. We managed to free the bolt ladders, loose looking rock (or should I say mud) but the summit pitch was awesome. Walk accross the wildly exposed ledge with wind blowing me almost off, mantle on Eagle's Head and after couple more hard moves I was on the tiny summit, what an incredible place. First desert tower climb, I hope to come back for more. Spent the next three days at Indian Creek jamming, best climbing ever! | |
