Negative. Also volcanic rock but a fair way east... Not a major destination so might be tricky, though pretty sure I've seen it mentioned here before.

Correct - The Enchanted Tower in New Mexico. The route is a 5.13a called Goliath that takes the arete all the way.

All my more recent shots are bouldering shots so excluded by the rules - hence my need to find old obscure photos...
The Enchanted Tower is a huge Pinnacle with a dozen or so routes all, super long pumpers. Lowering off involved stopping at midway anchors where you need to rethread to make the ground.
Other routes exist on smaller outcrops that litter the valley, but the tower is the feature!
Details.
Pleasant secluded area near Datil - free camping at the base. Not a major destination, but will keep you busy for a week or so. Went here after getting snowed out after 5 great weeks at Rifle...

Canada - The Bugaboos?
