Drew working on his Enchanted Tower project Goliath. First day, lighting was poor but I did get this nice snap where he missed his sequence and took a short fall. Photo: Craig Childre

the generic start for the enchanted tower

Borrowing everyones quickdraws he knew. Then pre setting every route that his collection could occupy. Kevin is seen here setting up for the improbable Tower Run! While setting he On Sited every route but three. A few days of hard earned rest. He returned and redpointed every line on the tower in a single day. Simply Insane!

The last weekend of Spring Break took us to Datil onto the Tower. Drew working on one of his latest projects before the summer sweeps him away to Utah. Great line, and I suspect he will get this send at the end of the summer.

Appropriately named, "Goliath" is one big, intimidating climb. Here, Rob nears midpoint on the 115 ft. pitch. Photo by Dan H.

Toph mantles up through the tough and awkard no hands move on the Golden Stairs. Warming up here????? he go to the runout section and lowered off as we moved over to Sleeping Beauty Wall, but not before Alf jumped on lead in his Reeboks! Meeting Alf was a real treat.

This is Matt about half way up on Shipwrecked, a tall .12c. Shortly after this the pump got him and his favorite four letter word came out. Mad props to him though, there is a reason I took the picture and am not in the photo.

Michael Johnson shaking it ou on Goliath, the largest route at The Tower. I think its 13a/b. Michael sent it on his fifth try.

The spectacular arete of Goliath 5.13a is one of many very long single pitch routes on the Tower itself. Lama Collection 1995
