Ancient Art offers Fisher Towers climbing at a moderate grade, with the most unique summit in the area. You’ve seen the Citibank commercial; Red River can lead you there! This is the easiest tower in the area and an option for almost anyone with gym experience, or for those who have participated in our half or full day of guided rock climbing. Climbing Ancient Art in the Fisher Towers boasts one of the easiest approaches in the desert—which is kind of nice!
Please note: We get an early start to beat the heat and the crowds, but guests may still encounter backups and wait times.

My climb with Red River Adventures was beyond expectation! I thought I was way over my mind thinking I could tackle Ancient Art for my very first tower, but Mary (my spectacular rock guide) thought otherwise. Her reassurance throughout the climb really motivated me to persevere whenever I got in a tight spot. Though climbing 400 ft in the air was absolutely terrifying, this was hands down the most exciting/exhilarating experience of my life. I would highly recommend booking with RRA and plan on doing so on a future visit to Moab!

Spent 1/2 a day on some top rope climbs with Ian. My boyfriend and I really liked Ian he was super funny and we had a great time experiencing the desert sandstone rock. After a days rest we set up a guided climb for Ancient Art. Morgan was one of the best guides we have ever had. He taught us so much, was super knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel really comfortable on our first desert tower climb. Next time we are in Moab we are definitely going to book another guided climb with Red River!

What a great experience! We had the best day hiring a guide to take me and my daughter rock climbing and repelling. Going with a private guide was extra special, just the 2 of us got a chance to enjoy our day without being in a large group. We will be back! Thanks Red River for helping us make amazing memories in Moab!

With a moderate grade (5.8 A0) and a relatively easy approach, it’s a great next step for those looking to move from single-pitch routes to a unique desert tower.
