Moab Castleton Tower Climbing Experience

Location

Castle Valley, Utah

Group Size

2 people per guide

Duration

8 hours

Castleton Tower is the namesake of the Castle Valley in Utah. A 400’ Wingate Sandstone tower standing on a 1,000’ Moenkopi-Chinle cone, makes it a sight to see.

The tower is world-renowned as a subject for photography and for its classic rock climbing routes, the most famous of which is the Kor-Ingalls Route featured in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America.

Many of the routes on Castleton are a bit more challenging than the other Moab area classics, making this experience a great goal in the progression of climbing more demanding routes after working with our team.

Many of the climbs have four to 5 pitches of rock climbing, stacking on the 45 min hike in and out, these are full 8 hours days in the mountains.

Here are some great references on the routes we guide:

-Kor-Ingalls Route 5.9+

-The North Chimney 5.9

-Fine Jade on The Rectory 5.11

 

Overnight Logistics will be sorted with you and the office upon registration. Please email or call with questions.

Many people opt to sleep in a hotel in Moab but there is a small (free) campground on private land adjacent to the approach trail for the climb.
