Unlike the 81 attempt which barely got off the ground before stonefall drove us off the Rowell route, this time we decided to have a go at All Along the Watchtower. Things went well until half way thru the 2nd day when Dale took a fall and tweaked the tendon in a finger on his right hand. That kind of spooked him and any interest he had in continuing. We were short of water and would have certainly run out before the top. I was keen to continue and for once I didn't want to bail. We rapped, found a ledge and the next day got back to the hut via Bill's Pass. I still think about this one alot.
