Earlier tonight I tried to submit the Alabama Hills Pic Report but bombed out due to technical difficulties. In keeping the effort alive I'm posting up some of our recent trip to Enchated Tower, NM

More photos to come maybe even some text too. For now, take a gander at these...

Sooze....

Nice pics



Great looking area, rock looks a little bad, but if its climbable... then it must be ok.

Cheers

Monkey, we saw that place but didn't stop for the photo. Nice shot.

Greg, this is a Pic Report...where's your link?

Jingy, the stuff isn't really that chossy. Lots of pocketes to fall off of. Similar to the rock at Deadman's Summit on the eastside.

Looks like fun. Maybe someone should put a little stealth spray paint on those chains that appear in the photos on the Fish site.
