The Fisher Towers in Utah are probably my single favorite climbing area. They’re just… otherworldly. They’re so beautiful and the climbing there is so mental. It’s awesome. So today’s climbing tip is to climb in the Fishers! And to whet your appetite a bit, here’s an amazing video. It was made by attaching an HD video camera to an RC helicopter and flying it over and around the towers. So cool! Be sure to make it full screen when you watch it.

What an amazing place. I want to go to there.
I’ve only climbed in Indian Creek, how does the rock in the Fisher towers compare to IC sandstone? Crumblier?
The rock in the Fisher Towers is significantly worse than Indian Creek sandstone. Its crumbly and sandy. Cracks on less traveled routes are often caked in mud. Its exactly this challenging nature of the climbing (and the amazing formations) that makes the Fishers such a unique climbing area.
Now that’s an amazing view of some beautiful sandstone. Thanks for sharing this and your other very helpful posts!
