Eva's Tower, descent route down gully 3 with a rappel, 4-13-2015

Branch Whitney led 11 hard core hikers today to Eva's Tower.   This is one of the most improbable routes in all of Red Rock. The summit looks technical from all angles.  Eva's Towers offers a little bit of everything, rock scrambling, a cave like slot, a little bit of stemming with many twists and turns to challenge you. Great vistas from the summit add to the enjoyment of this fantastic route. This peak is named after my first hiking partner, Eva. The weather was beautiful today and perfect for rock scrambling in Red Rock Canyon.  To make this a round trip route we descended  Gully 3 which included a rappel so that we did not retrace our steps through Gully 2.   This route takes you to places of beauty and wonder.   The hike started at approximately 7:30 am and we were back to our cars before 12:30 pm.
