Cirque of the Towers
"The Cirque",as it is known to those fortunate enough to have climbed there, is a collection of peaks, spires, and walls with some of the most memorable names of any climbing area in the world: Warbonnet, Warrior, Watchtower, Sharks' Nose, Overhanging Tower, Wolf's Head, Pingora.
The routes are worthy of the names and many deserve to be described as legendary
The approaches are short, although the hike into The Cirque is a good day's walk over Jackass Pass. The alpine tundra meadows between Lonesome Lake, Hidden Lake, and Cirque Lake provide campsites beneath the intimating faces.
Several of the routes were made famous after being included in Fifty Classic Climbs of North America. A dozen others are equally famous.
No climber has ever been disappointed by a trip to the Cirque of the Towers.
