Well, since this is about Baja, the closest thing to a 1,500' tower that I know of is El Gran Trono Blanco. "The Throne" is a majestic granite
monolith which overlooks Cañón El Tajo in the Sierra de Juárez, BC. The near vertical east face is approximately 1,600'. One of my routes, "El
Milenio" is 15 pitches (rope lengths) and 2,000'. The difficulty is 5.11b/c on "dime edges". That climber's jargon means standing on tiny edges, about
the thickness of a dime.
Tower climbing? Yawn. You'd have to make a conscious effort to fall from that! |
