Stickler Tower climbing
6 routes
A tower in Stick Gully with two independent lines up its left-side crack systems and a clean arete on its right flank. Six routes share anchors and start pitches across four multi-pitch outings: Stickler follows the left-side cracks through a wide roof to the summit (starting up Stick Left), Stick to It follows the tower's right arete (with Stick Right as an optional first pitch), and Stick Up shares its first pitch with Stick Left and its upper two pitches' finishes with Stick to It. River Styx adds a single-pitch sport line on a blunt, slabby arete near the base, right of Stick to It. Grades run from easy 5.9 pitches up to a 5.10+ roof crux on Stickler and a 5.11 sport pitch on River Styx; rock ranges from clean splitter cracks to varnished, edge-y face and slab. First ascents on the tower span 1982 to 2026.
