Well, let's see....

River Tower, climbed two routes on this beast but not, sigh, the North Face.


Kingfisher? NE Ridge? Check! Twice, once solo, more recently with partner:


Echo Tower? Phantom Sprint? Yeah! Second Ascent.


More recently, Pete Swanicke:



West Side Story? Check! Fifth ascent, I think this was:


Fantasia?


Ancient Arts. Climbed this a couple times:


Cobra. No pics, but climbed in a raging windstorm day. Too stupid to realize, while at the base, that the top would be moving and terrifying.

Lizard Rock? Soloed, led, several times.

Titan's Sundevil? Soloed 20-odd years ago. No slides scanned as yet. Not that they are any good-too gripped.

Finger of Fate? Climbed with Strappo, 20 years ago.


And lastly, more recently, Chris McNamara, and ??thingy?? White (sorry), summit of Titan, during ASCA cleaning/rebolting effort.


All I did was get in the way and slow things down, but got a couple pics.

Almost there. Shy only by the North Face of the River Tower. And that's not exactly on my list of must-do routes.

If I want a mud bath I'll go to a spa.

At least there I can easily wash it off.

There is a lot of adventure in that list.

I've done all but the Cobra and the Sundevil.

Now I'm in CA and they seem so far away.

Sheep
Babel
Organ

Green River towers?

Towers alone the White rim? This would really be impressive.
Monster

Blocktop
Islet
Chip
Dale
Hardscrabble
Charlie Horse

Towers in Taylor Canyon?
Aphrodite
Zeus
Moses
the T Mare

The Mysteries?
Doric
Citidel
Gothic?

Valley of the Gods?
North
Arrowhead
Eagle Plume
Tom Tom
the 2 Puttermans
Tides of Mind
Hidden
Lady in a Bathtub


So many good times out there and so little time.......
