Dan Dalton > Zowie Tower

My first true alpine climb in Rocky Mountain National Park. A really fun and awesome outing with a great climbing partner, Larissa Phillips, from Estes Park. I led the whole route and was really tied when we got home! We only brought along 1 liter of water and had to climb the rope on the double rope rap to fix friction issues. Here are just a few photos from our mini-epic.
