My climbing buddy and I were surprised to find Leaning Tower relatively empty on Memorial Day weekend.
We ran into 2 soloists - Nathan who would climb it in a day, and Zack who climbed it big-wall style. Here's a few pics of them. Guys, PM me for the rest of your photos!
climb on!

The photos and comments show how this route has changed over my climbing lifetime. It was still a somewhat rare undertaking when I started in the late 1960's. Getting around the Evil Tree was legendary. Now, soloists casually run up it.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

Ya mon, cool pics. I did a winter solo in 1980, took 3-1/2 days.
Don't remember it being that steep!
And I don't remember it being casual, either.
If I remember correctly, coming out of your aiders and free-climbing to Ahwahnee Ledge was the scariest part.
Or maybe the scariest part was carrying gear across the 4th class ledges to the base of the route...

Rad! It was such a blast to share the wall with y'all!
Photo uploader doesn't seem to be working now, but I have some great shots of you two. Remind me your names?
