Have to add Standing Rock in Monument Basin.
Agree with most others. Also add Pixie Stick in Monument Basin as a real cool, small summit.

While all of those are cool and all, I'm gonna have to say this one trumps all of those. Location alone, yo...
Why not another to get people thinking about things off of this continent...

Great thread, great pics!
How about a variation on the theme - best "date" tower in the Moab area. This means: no likely epics, not too much loose rock, no climbing harder than 5.9, no long and horrible approaches, and any offwidth or squeeze-chimney should be of the quickly-gotten-though variety.
I know it's a lot to ask, but any suggestions might help make a day very very special.

Owl Rock in Arches
from the 25 second approach to the 5.8 vertical face climbing to the free-hanging rap this thing just screams "I am a rock climber! Sleep with me!"

Thanks L.
Turkey is an amazing tower. If it were around Moab, it would be classic tic for tower baggers. As it is, it's largely invisible and very rarely climbed.

Castleton is great and is most people's first desert tower. It gets pretty crowded, but everyone has to climb it someday. I personally much prefer the North Chimney to Kor-Ingalls, but both routes are good. Do the Priest just down the ridge to up the adventure factor a bit.
