Critique and comment on my gear list for Leaning Tower

Thanks, Mark!

We'll be heading out to the Prow or WFLT this Fall. If we have time, we'll try to remove some of them.

Sweet!

Remove the deadheads and what you can climb past using clean means, leave everything else on those routes. If you were going up on i.e., Sea of Dreams, I'd say to remove everything.

Have fun! Climb safe.

stoked to see this thread! giving the west face a shot in april.

I was really surprised at how good this route was when I climbed it last fall!

I can't remember any mandatory fixed head move and we climbed it clean easily using the fixed gear but it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a hammer and a couple knifeblades and a LA just in case.

I'll bet any creative climber could climb it all completely clean though.

How many people can fit on Awahnee Ledge? Trying to get an idea of how crowded it can get.

I would bet you could get six very comfortably, eight would be pushing it but I think everyone would have a pretty good flat spot to sleep.
