About
Some of the most distinctive and absolutely breathtaking climbs in the world are present in the desert canyonlands around Moab. Solitary towers stand proudly against the sky as veritable sentinels above the stark surrounding landscape, virtually daring would-be climbers to test them. It is hard to not stare and optimistically wonder what could be possible. Most summits do not come easily though; the walls are steep, cracks are sustained and physical climbing is consequently the norm. Yet to a climber with a strong foundation of skills, few places are as rewarding to climb. We offer guided climbing trips up the several moderate tower trade-routes around Castle Valley and Fisher Towers as well as climbing closer to Moab on some of the best crack climbing crags to be found just about anywhere
