River Tower is located a short distance beyond the Fisher Towers turn-off on Highway 128 from Moab. It was first climbed but not reported in 1973 by Ken Wyrick and Cardo Merrill. Harvey T. Carter and party made the second ascent. There are several possible chimneys on the west side of the tower. The first ascent began toward the rear or up-slope side of the west face, where the tower is some 250 feet high. The third belay is from the top of the summit blocks. From there one can either rappel 20 feet into the notch and reascend to the true summit or loop a rope over the summit block flake and do a Tyrolean traverse (15 feet). NCCS II, F5, A2.
