There are some petroglyphs, just visible, high on a spire in Utah so precarious no climbers dare breathe heavily next to it. I have no photos because I was concerned the shutter vibration would topple it. The Anasazi also need to be credited with America's first 5.10's.

So full of sh#t. In the way high up in the Castle Cliffs, beyond Tricky Dick and Bush W Ledge and Bill's Boner, there WAAS a large pinnacle, but it was falling apart so fast it was gone by the time I could set up a belay. I was standing on a pile of sand! Talking shop about choss.

Todd totally wins this one.
True style is to stand on the summit with one foot held high.
My balance isn't that good any more.

Mr. Gordon (and friends) seems to be attracted to those units.

Bravura display. Every right to be cocky, Todd.

Anyone read about the Ice stalagmite called the Spruce Cone in Wrangle Saint Elias NP that apperently grows to 250ft at times in the newest issue of climbing. It apperently never has conected. It also apperently has been climbed when it was one pitch but not when it was around 80m. That may be the most precarious spire never climbed.

Cool thread. I was happy to see Montezuma Tower in there.
Since when has the leaning column started moving?!
