  • Sandstone Towers of the American South-West Desert Eric Bjdrnstad
    ABOUT IRGHIL M'GOUN AND THE BOU GOUMEZ Slowly we insinuated ourselves into the elegant 'Hotel Roses de Dades' so from camping outside it in the blowing dirt we dined and slept within. Never did skis look so out of place as ours stacked by the tent against the hotel with nothing but desert all round. Only in the north lay the hint of snowy peaks. The next morning they were white-washed with new snow, but that salvo was too late. We were out. We phoned and arranged for the mini-bus to pick us up at the hotel. Another driver, a surly maniac, took us over the dramatic Tizi n' Tichka pass (nearly 2400m) back to Marrakech, and because the journey was based on mileage we were actually charged less than expected. The patisserie and later a gourmet meal in the 'Bagatelle' with lots of Chaud Soleil really ended the tour. If it gave little ski-ing for our Eagle selves, the Alpine halves of our beings were fully satisfied. It was the sort of expedition John Ball had made at the start of the game, a hundred years ago; very traditional. Sandstone towers of the American south-west desert Eric Bjdrnstad The American SW desert is a loosely delineated area of the Colorado Plateau. Geographically, it is referred to as a table-land or high desert country and encompasses portions of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. The territory is the product of relatively recent geologic activity. Only 50 million years ago the entire region was convulsed by violent movement of the earth's crust, and 12 million years ago, the area uplifted 1200 to 1800m.

  • Desert Towers Climbing Information Located in Southeastern Utah, the Small Town of Moab Is a Desert Sandstone Paradise
    TM most practical multi-pitch solution v1.2 Desert Towers Climbing Information Located in southeastern Utah, the small town of Moab is a desert sandstone paradise. While Moab might be better known as a mountain biking mecca, or a touristy destination with the Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, it also offers unmatched climbing opportunities. The desert land surrounding Moab is characterized by mile after mile of sandstone cliffs, canyons, towers, walls, mesas, buttes and spires. This is a unique destination, and the climbing potential is endless. All that sculptured sandstone lined with perfect cracks makes Moab a very special place for a memorable climbing road-trip. While Moab has a little bit of everything to offer, from bouldering to aid climbing to cragging, many climb- ers come to the desert to polish their crack climbing skills, and to climb the famous sandstone towers. These unique sandstone spires will reward you with airy summits and amazing views of the desert landscape. Stand- ing on top of a desert tower is an unforgettable experience that should be on every serious climber’s resume.

The 14-mile section is extremely popular with families, locals, and guiding companies. Although class III, this is a float that is beginner friendly. The rapids, 6 in the 14 miles, with several smaller rifles and wave sections, are all separated by long stretches of flat water that gives beginners a chance to re-group after each short rapids section. Hardcore river rafters may find this section boring. If you are looking for extreme river rafting, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a casual day out, with exquisite scenery, this is a good choice.

Acknowledgements The idea for Desert Towers Select was conceived when Mick Ryan showed Chris McNamara some nearly published desert topos he had worked on with Dougald MacDonald. Mick and Dougald kindly let SuperTopo use their work as the starting point and backbone of the current guide. From there, Chris McNamara and Sarah Felchlin climbed additional routes, researched first ascent histories and ate at all the restaurants that Corey Rich and Men’s Journal would pay for. Austin Archer offered the topos and text for Ancient Art and Owl Rock, Laurie Goodgame gave great restaurant beta, and Brian Jonas from Pagan Mountaineering pitched in additional traveler info. When you pass through Moab, visit his excellent climbing shop, Pagan Mountaineering, for gear, friendly service, and route recommendations.
