about coming across formations like this in AZ.

It hasn't happened yet.

I'm going to have to check out G of the G

North Ridge

Hasn't voted

Climbed the north ridge of this with my 15 year old son a few years back. Another party saw me leading it and sent a rope up with my son. Turns out that the other guys had really wanted to climb it but didn't have the guts to lead it! Neat route, but p1 is a bit scary, especially if it's windy.

I was inspired so much by the John Gillespie Magee quote that you've posted that I've done the same (copyright noted to Steve Marr). Thanks for the post.
