The Gendarme was pretty precarious.
We had a tradition to do it first day each season. It only took a few minutes.
And every time, I walked around it and said " this thing is gonna fall".
The Turkey monster and Stein's pillar are pretty precarious.

That rabbit ear spire that is left looks fairly precarious judging from this photo I came across on the web by John Svenson. I saw some other pictures of this that did not convey the flag pole factor.

I feel like anything to have toppled in this lifetime makes the shortlist. The Cobra gets my vote. And those Swords of Damocles N of I-70 at Palisade, those things all.
Honorable mention:

According to a thread on Paul's facebook page the top of this one fell off recently. Also he has loaded some great pictures on his ST page of spire ascents he felt were far scarier than this one. So take a look or if someone knows how to easily copy and paste here these climbs seem worthy and then some.

the top was on Damocles' Sword a week or two ago when I drove by.....
I don't do the FB but I trust that they know what they're looking at...
another one bites the dust, heh.
