This

looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings - the Black Gate?

Both. They are more then 200 million years old.

Congratulations

This very interesting photo has deserved to be the Photo of the Day. Also, you caught an entirely new photo motive in the West Julians.
Best regards, Andrej

Re: Congratulations

Grazie ! Not much people know this side of the mountain where Jof Fuart shows not only its power but its artistic beauty too.
Ciao Fabrizio

Similar Tower

We've a similar tower like this in Moab, Utah (USA). It's called "The Court House".

I missed that!

Questa mi era scappata!
Stranissima forma queste torri! Non è che conosca così bene lo J.Fuart, ma non avevo mai visto una cosa simile...
Ma quanto sono alte (circa)?

Re: I missed that!

Sono enormi, però non so dirti di preciso quanto sono alte ( forse 3/400 metri ). Più che vere e proprie torri sembrano dei pilastri, sono veremente impressionanti. Si trovano su una terrazza detritica sulla parete sud, dove anche sale la frequentatissima via normale. Per vederle però bisogna seguire un altro sentiero che è parte della lunga via ferrata "Anita Goitan".
Non ne sono sicuro ma immagino ci possano essere delle belle vie di arrampicata su queste pareti, qui la roccia è buona e in tutto il gruppo ci sono moltissime vie di ogni difficoltà.
Ciao!
