I made the FA of Owl Rock more than 30 years ago, and as many times as I have climbed it since I have had to resort to alternate aphrodisiacs.
Maybe I'm not screaming it right?

My friend called this Airport Tower but I couldn't find it in the Desert Rock book? It's near Moab. we didn't climb it the next morning as Alex had allready done it twice. we did a pretty cool one arround the corner called Waldens Room. It buggs me and I need to get up it someday.....

Airport Towers (AKA Echo Pinnacle and Aeolian Tower).....Desert Rock (Blue One) Wall Street to San Rafael Swell P. 149-151. And Original Desert Rock p.P. 229. I did the Echo Pinnacle (Window Route III5.10+) with Lori Graf in the early 1980's ....it's a good one with climbing through the window at the top of pitch one, and a cool chimney window section on pitch two.......It's called Airport Towers because you can see them from the Moab Airport.

All the towers mentioned are good. A little known tower that's had just a couple of ascents, is Arch Tower, which is quite close to Texas Tower. It's a beautiful formation, and one of the most difficult of all the desert spires.

So Jello says you should drive your 4X4 up Arch Canyon to go do the tower,...
(just kidding, its a touchy subject to some)

That Was Autum and it was her first or 2nd? tower. There was annother short little thing up on Comb ridge that we brought her up that trip. We had to clean up and mind our manners for a few days but it was kind of nice. We got some nice meals and she even did our dishes though I thought that Bella (the dog) had been doing a fine job of that all allong.

S-N-T-R-Bolting, right-on dude! Climbed on the Tre Cime di Laverado with Jeffie last spring. Hmmm, there was a real soggy belay halfway up, then an awesome chimney that gave a .75 at about 110 ft, with the belay stance 10 feet further up around the chockstone! No bolts, but rusty pins on occasion.
My fav is Meteora, Heileger Geist. Did it with my wife and daughter for chuckles, the rap descent puts you right into a Hermitage site.
Cheers, Michael

Since I've only done five of them I'm probably not qualified to judge the top ten, however four of them have already been mentioned up thread. One that hasn't been mentioned yet and is one of my favorites is The Three Penguins in Arches.
In fact I like it so much I've done it three times. What's not to like? It has convenience, nice views, a killer hand crack, some offwidth all on an undeniably interesting formation.
