The Towne Pass North climb from Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley is an epic desert ascent defined by its sheer scale and potentially brutal conditions. Prepare for an incredibly long 17 mile grind gaining approximately 5000ft from below sea level, averaging a steady 5.6% with long sections pushing around 8-9%. Experience the stark, vast beauty of the Death Valley landscape unfolding around you.

The extreme desert environment means you will potentially encounter extreme heat and intense sun with absolutely no shade and no water sources for many miles. Therefore, approach this climb with meticulous preparation, carry plenty of water, check forecasts/park alerts beforehand, and ensure you're fully self-sufficient for this unforgettable but demanding climb to the 4956ft summit.
