OK, another attempt at pics of baby towers in a place now off limits to climbing, from way back when:

Todd, I was checking out Venus and Cleopatra about 20 years ago when we were overflown by a B-52 flying (it seemed) barely above the tops of the cliffs. It was flying at operational speed, like nearly the speed of sound, and man was it scary! Both my friend and myself threw ourselves on the ground. Turned out it was a closed, military airspace for practice runs. Jet noise! The sound of freedom! Take that you commie bastards!

ps I think I have climbed the mystery spire you posted earlier. Right by the Malpais?

Jaybro,
Yes, Chiricahua is right location for all little towers in my pics, except for Mace in Oak Creek Canyon, of course. Chiricahua is now off limits to climbing, I believe, but sure was fun in the day. Sometimes you wondered if some of the small base towers might just fall over as you got onto them. Note one has fallen over in left side of second pic!
A bit more detail and photo credits are at my website gallery:

North Six Shooter for you Todd. I think the tower you posted is near El Morro rather than El Malpais. I am just basing it on the look of the mesa in the background--I could be wrong though. There likely would not be that view over in the Narrows right by the Malpais. So your tower is safe for the moment, only for the moment though.

Thanks, cool photos, Tom, I spelled it funny because I knew it was off limits for climbing. I have camped and hiked there, a beautiful, fascinating place. Hollis Mariott ('The last Pioneer Women,' of the poor persons' guides to devils tower) was a seasonal ranger there a few winters. She has posted here, also.

That orange dome sort of goes with your persimmon pants there Mimi.
