“Continental Tower” Wind River Range. While hiking from Little Sandy Lake to the western shoulder of Wind River Peak near the southern end of the range, Bob Stevenson and I camped below several magnificent granite towers, of whose existence I had no idea. We singled out the largest on July 28. To reach its southern notch took almost a half-day, with a variety of devious fourth and fifth class pitches. The final summit section was of more continuous difficulty and included a short section of aid. It appeared that we had taken the easiest route: we used 18 pitons.
