A Crag Guide gives an extensive view of all sub areas and climbs at a point in the index. It shows a snapshot of the index heirachy, up to 300 climbs (or areas) on a single web page. It shows selected comments climbers have made on a recently submitted ascent.

At a minor crag level this should be suitable for printing and taking with you on a climbing trip as an adjunct to your guidebook.

설명

One of the lowest climbing grade desert towers, in the vicinity of Fisher Towers.

접근

Drive 1.6 miles up the dirt road towards Fisher Towers from highway 128 and park at a small pull-off on the left side of the road. It's large enough for 2 cars.

From the pull-off, an emerging trail leads directly to the tower staying mostly on high ground, crossing 3 washes on the way.

1 ★★ Carson's Tower

Climb from the east side, climb the easy but unprotected chimney between the 2 summits, the first gear placement is just below where the two summits bulge out and the chimney widens - you can place a BD #5 cam on the left, but better is a slung horn on the right.

Stem between the two towers past 2 drilled pitons. Then the crux - the 5.7 committing transition from stemming to the south tower with a good left hand hold around the arete, and drilled piton at feet. Exposed friction leads to the anchor, just below that actual summit.

The move up to the summit is unprotected, but a straightforward beached whale move ;o)

1 ★ Entry Fee

Well known for being run-out, but with careful consideration can actually be protected fairly well.

Start at the south-west (parking lot side) of the tower. Climb crack (cams) to flake (cams) and a mantle. Up to the base of summit block with large horizontal flake, you can protect with BD #3 & #4 at the base of the flake and extend over the lip with slings. Step up and right, possible to sling a small dinner plate with prussic cord, then slightly overhung jugs to rappel chain. Hidden pockets on the summit to help with the mantle.

FA: Harvey T Cartrer & Annie S Carter, 1962

5.8 I R 전통등반 60ft
2 ★ Leapin' Lizards

Often top-roped after climbing Entry Fee.

Start just left of Entry Fee, climb the crack (nut placement) to a bolt, then move right to join and finish on Entry Fee at the large horizontal flake / base of summit block.

요약

Close to the parking lot, but poor rock quality, even for the Fishers. The north face route offers a good easy introduction to aid climbing.

접근

From campsite #3 at the Fisher Towers parking lot, walk east 100m to an obvious junction in the creek/arroyo. Walk up the left fork which is guarded by a large bush at the junction. Work your way out to the left and up to Dunce Rock. 5-10 mins from the parking lot.

1 North Face

First climbed solo by Harvey T Carter who said "it's the obvious route on the north side of the tower".

Well, there are obvious zig-zag ledges, but the final 20ft is guarded by vertical poor rock. There is now a 4 bolt (drilled piton) ladder to aid on, placed by Joe Forrester in 2007 to finish their route that started on the south face. There is a rappel station on the shoulder just under the summit block.

FA: Harvey T Carter, 1970

5.8 A0 I 혼합 고전등반 100ft, 4
2 Jam A Crack

Some of the worst rock you will ever climb on. Climb the obvious wide crack at the western edge of the formation to a shoulder under the overhanging summit. On the first ascent the summit was lassoed for an aid finish, there is now a 3 bolt ladder moving left across poor rock/mud to surmount the final obstacle. There is a rappel station below the summit block.

4 ★★★ Stolen Chimney / Corkscrew Summit

3 pitches of crappy climbing to lead to the most spectacular summit ever!!!

  1. 35m (5.8 A0 or 5.10) Up the easy boulders (5.5). Some parties belay here with cams to reduce rope drag. Move left to steeper climbing up a thin face, 4 bolts, pull on draws for 5.8, or go free for 5.10. DBB.

  2. 30m (5.8) Mud Chimney - The only real climbing on the route. Plenty of cam options plus one old manky bolts. TBB on spacey ledge.

  3. 10m (5.7 A0 or 5.10) Short pitch to gain the summit area. 4 bolts well placed to pull through, climbing free it's slightly easier on the left at the top. Top out on the start of the walkway. TBB.

  4. 20m (5.8) What you came here for!!! Balance your way across the unprotected walkway, with 600ft of air either side! Mantle awkwardly onto the diving board to find your first bolt. 5.7 moves up the skinny tower lead to 2 more bolts out to the right. Awkward move over bulge or pull on draws, then top out and get an awesome photo!!! The last pro is the multitude of slings/ropes, but 3rd/4th class terrain to the top.

Protection: single set of Camalots #0.5 to #3 (double 0.75 and 1 optional), some quick draws, and four to six long (24") slings.

To descend, get lowered from the summit block from the multitude of tat, then walk back to the belay. Rappel back to the top of the chimney. Then, 2x60m ropes reach the ground from here, or, with 1x60m rope just rappel reversing the route.

This route climbs the great west-facing blade of rock that constitutes the west most arete of Cottontail. It starts directly off the Titan Trail. It climbs that arete for three pitches then meanders up walls and edges to the top. (Luke, John and I climbed most of this route in 1994, but we ran out of time for the last couple of pitches. The nailing on the first few pitches is pretty sketchy requiring a lot of sawed-offs. The sawed-offs we had were clearly barely in the holes that constitute the route.)

1 ★★ Olde English 800

The unique tower is below the Titan Trail and is actually a butte with a large section missing (making it technically an arch—-although the arch is a pitch off the ground). The route starts up the southeast side and climbs a pitch to the arch, then a second pitch through the top of the arch. It’s a pretty cool climb and reportedly goes free at 5.11.
