I've lived in Moab for 15 years and have probably less than 40 towers. Quite embarrassing.

Yeah, I think Eve and Ralph are at 300+. It's entirely possible they'll run out of towers to climb someday.

Where's crusher? Mine list is really small, but only climbed in the area about 10 days total. With most of those days at Indian creek. That being said just the usual suspects Castleton, ancient art, south six shooter, owl rock, space tower, but I did get to ski 2 feet of fresh in the abhoes(spelling) after getting a foot of snow overnight in the creek one March.
Climbed more than a few towers(needles) around here though.

The Larry. OK dude, maybe I'm embarrassed to actually post my list. It could be less than 100. OK, it probably is. Give me a week or 5. Let's let this play out!!!!!!
In any eventuality it would take a while to actually find and post. the records are........
dude.
At the very least I'm gonna' wait for Gordo to post.

Hey Larry! Nice list! We should add North Six to it together. I will hit you up roundabout late December or January. Numb finger times, you know.
I could try and go off about my own list but it would devolve into the esoterica of micro-mud towers that no one else has names for or interests in. Like things worse even than Tezcatlipoca.
