Coolest Features to Climb in North America
|
Sea Stacks, Desert Towers, Massive Chimneys, Huge Aretes, Ridges - What are the coolest climbable features on the North American continent? |
|
I thought Will Gadd climbing Nigara Falls is pretty cool. |
|
El Cap, right? |
|
|
|
What climber could resist the Ames Monument? |
|
Denali, the Grand, Devils Tower, Castleton Tower, the Diamond, Half Dome and the Mathes Crest come to mind. All these features made me say, "I want to climb that immediately" when I first saw them. |

The monkey face in Smith |

East ridge of wolfs head |
|
North America has sea stacks? |
|
Something in the northern latitudes we have not seen yet. |
|
Lotus flower tower |
|
Ship Rock. |
|
Gotta put the 3rd flatiron on there. |

I'm hardly a desert aficionado, but the Fisher Towers really look incredible. It's hard to think of more striking features than those. |
|
Great thread idea! But seriously this thread needs pictures. |

I still think some of the coolest looking rock I have seen is at HP40 (I hate the place and it annoys the heck out of me everytime I go because of that one V2 problem but still really cool) |
|
HP40 definitely blew my mind when I went. Unfortunately it was July in Alabama and V3 slopers felt like V-Impossible. |
