While the scenery in the Playground isn't that much different than the rest of the Harney Peak area, the fact that it was all new to us made it quite interesting.  There are innumerable spires in this area!  While many of these have been climbed in the past, there is very little written of the routes and/or difficulty of the lines.  As an outsider hiking into this area for the first time, identifying the features from what little information we did have was nearly impossible.  The peaks in this photo seemed to be the high point of the area, which would mean one of them is called "Sultan's Tower".  But which one is it?  There may be only one way to find out--return to the area with some climbing gear and do some vertical exploration!
