Named for a local miner, these towers are slowly being extruded as they outlast the mesa from which they rise. Layton Kor et.al scrapped his way up the tallest tower of the group–the 800-plus foot Titan–back in 1962 and the route was etched into climbing history after Steck and Roper included it in their Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. Today, the towers attract more climbers than ever (some say too many) and endure a seemingly constant threat of development from both land owners, gas companies and Utah’s own Governor, Gary Herbert.
