Got up at 4am for this.. worth it! The tower is called Ancient Art. About 600 feet up since the ground falls away pretty quickly from the base. 325ish feet of climbing. 360 degree view from the summit, which is about a pizza box ish in size. The second gives some scale...

I do! Got some panoramas and a few of me (idk if I'll post those), but maybe I'll add some more later... Tired now from getting up so early :P

Moab I believe
But of a drive outside of Moab, yes. These are called the Fisher Towers, quick Google maps should find the general area.

Huh? Pitons? Are you talking about the belay stuff that's in the rock? If so, there are some fixed anchors, a few bolts, and bunch of places where you have to place your own gear.

There were some cool "starbolts" (they have a star design on the head) that I'm told were from the 1960s ish. We did NOT use those :P
