Puddy's Tower is found east (left) of the main Monument Base Area. The chunk of rock can be distinguished by a large boulder at the base of the climbs in the middle of the wall. There is also a smooth looking face on the high right right hand side of the tower with cool striations in the colorful rock.
The majority of the climbs on Puddy's Tower are fairly new but in decent shape with a bit cleaning up to do.
The Monument Area is found in the eastern part of the park. Turn right after crossing the main bridge entrance. Follow the river trail and look for established trails left off the trail. The Monument Area is closed seasonally for eagle nesting, look for signs that note seasonal closures.

Not feeling confident getting to that first bolt? Or maybe the first bolt is a sizable distance off the ground? Whatever the reason, we recommend using the Trango Beta Stick Evo as way to stick clip the first bolt(s) to keep you safe and climbing. It collapses down into a reasonable size, making it easy to carry in your pack all the while being really easy to use.
