Behold the Castleton Desert Tower in Moab!
Castleton Tower is one of the most iconic rock formations in the American Southwest and one of the most sought-after climbs in Moab. Rising dramatically from the desert floor with the La Sal Mountains towering behind it, the tower creates one of the most recognizable landscapes in Utah.
The climb follows classic multi-pitch routes that wind up the vertical walls of the tower, combining crack climbing, face climbing, and exposed movement high above the desert. Each pitch builds the sense of adventure as the surrounding landscape stretches out farther in every direction.
Reaching the summit of Castleton Tower is an unforgettable moment. Standing on top of this freestanding tower offers breathtaking views across the desert and the surrounding canyon country.
For climbers visiting Moab, Castleton is widely considered a must-do objective and one of the great classic climbs of the desert towers.
