Name this Grand Canyon Summit

Post by KwaiChang »

I am looking at this peak in the following photo's - can someone tell me what it is?? Anyone summit it?

http://hikearizona.com/photo.php?ZIP=343953 and this one http://hikearizona.com/photo.php?ZIP=343955

It's not Woton correct? If I remember correctly Woton was way away from Isis and Cheops.....

I believe Mazatzal is correct that it is Tower of Set, which is located about 12 miles west of Wotan's Throne.

If it is in fact Tower of Set, I know Bob Packard has and I wouldn't doubt Harvey Butchart did as well.
(Of course neither of them is/was a HAZ member.)

Harvey made it to the Tower of Set saddle, but I don't believe he ever made the summit.

I just checked Harvey's master hiking map. He did not reach the summit of the Tower of Set but he did reach Sumner Butte <marked as Sumner Point on the old maps>.

Sumner is a :pk: (it's number 3 on my "to conquer" list)) but it's definitely doable as a non-tech but might be more fun with ropes! :y: I'll be heading up in September...unless I break something in the mean time :D

I don't think Tower of Set is reachable the way Harvey went (at least, not non-tech), but it may be reachable, it's just that the other route to get there is very long.
