There was virtually zero point to climbing that tower.


There's just a view of big nothing from up there. It's just a metal frame, unremarkable but for its height.

You don't want to climb up 2000 feet just for fun?

reply

You sound like a great indoors man. The world needs all types.

reply

A metal pole in the middle of a featureless barren landscape is not what I call "the outdoors".

reply

What would you consider outdoors. The McDonald's drive through?

reply

I don't call a ladder in the middle of nothing the outdoors. Neither do real climbers, mountaineers and people who enjoy the challenge and the environs when scaling the planet's tall geographical features.

This tower is like the McDonalds of climbing. At best.

You're a Burger King man, I see.

Outdoors is just another word for outside.

reply

So if you hang about in a Costco parking lot, that makes you and outdoors person?

reply

Not necessarily. Outdoors person just means someone who likes doing things outside.

I am a free climber, a base jumper, and perpetrator of other fun, x-treme recreation. I am also a female conservative who believes you are a beta male whose TDS is spilling over into inane, petty posts referencing Costco and McDonalds.

Get a grip, and I do not mean on a rusty desert tower ladder.

You had me at "perpetrator".

So, not a HSG then?

reply

No HSG but a ΦΒΚ grad who chooses her words more scrupulously than her actions. Since many alluring locales post a silly No Trespassing sign, law enforcement intrusion is a possibility, hence, "perpetrator."

Hunter doing it for the instaclicks, bro!

They start up the ladder from the ground and immediately, they can tell how rusty and falling apart the tower is. Talk about not taking a hint.

reply

It's not about climbing a tower in the middle of a desert. It's about the skill of climbing, and humans venture to climb just about anything, not just mountains.

If there is something really high, climbers will climb. It's about testing their skill.

This particular tower is just another motivation to do more climbing.

It's a ladder
