Is that Elvis hammer Fsck I got to climb it with Cho and Fluoride and this fall. There was a breeze and I was sure I could feel it moving. Felt like tremors. I was glad to rap off!

Well, this is probably kind of feeble for this thread, but this is the best we've got here in our part of the Idaho desert. This is a 50' or 60' beauty called The Funnybone. Friable tuff or rhyolite or something. A creepy steepie.

My good friend, John Ewbank bagged the 1st ascent of the Totem Pole, in Tasmania. I climbed with John last year in New Hampshire.

Climbed an obscure and precarious sea stack north of Bodega Bay back about 1957 with a college bio prof named Clark Nattkemper. Great guy. The top ten feet was just dirt. No rappel point. We tied the ropes together and rappelled off opposite sides, simultaneously.
Went back a few years later to look at it. It was gone.

Pin Point Pinnacle. Pretty skinny and only 5.6,m but with no anchor and a rather bulbous summit with no groove for a needles style rappel you apparently wrap the rope around the top a couple of times in the middle and then bring the two strands together to rap. You then unwind the rope by walking around it a couple of times. Scary.

Possibly the largest unclimbed spire in the Black Hills?

The Turkey monster is sketchy. stein's pillar is also precarious.
( did it a few years ago and it still had Roper's entry in the register)
But if your pillar hasn't fallen down since you did it, you got nothin'.

The Poplar at Smith. From some angles, it looks like it's gonna fall over imminently. I got vertigo on top, couldn't wait to get down.
The Steeple in the Ochocos, not far from Stein's. I got about 1/2, maybe 2/3, broke off a piece the size of a cinder block, and my nerves were shot. My buddy declined to complete the lead. No summit.
Unclimbed, Golden Valley, AZ
Thumb Butte, Bullhead City, AZ
Others have climbed this. I'll be needing a partner.

Might have to, but it looks to be guitar chossy and currently buried in 3 feet of snow.
