Conquering Turkey Vulture Tower

This old Long Lines tower has been a foe of mine for about a year or so now, due to the fact that when we last tried it, one of the group I was with got vertigo and quit. We headed down with him, never to return again. I had told ClimbingDoug the story, and he said we should correct that. So, we did. With warnings of Turkey Vultures at the top, we ascended into the sky. Once at the top, I snapped off a few shots while admiring the view. A few minutes later the turkey vultures appeared, pissed off we were in their territory, right beside their nest. We managed to keep them a distance away with the sounds of our voices, snapped a few more photos and headed back to earth, where Cambria had been patiently waiting for us. Another wonderful climb. Notice the vultures flying around in a few of the photos.
