Overhung Cliffs on 14ers/13ers
Anyone know of any purely vertical or overhung cliffs that are 300'+ on Colorado's 13ers or 14ers? Particularly in the Gores? Muchos Gracias!

Looking for more obscure cliffs mostly, thanks though!

East face of Monitor has some FA possibilities.

The east aspect of Little Bear has some near vertical terrain. Look at the view from Blanca.

Re: Overhung Cliffs on 14ers/13ers
Just fyi there are already several established routes on the E face of Monitor. I believe there's a classic 1947 Route? Could be mistaken on the year. But based on an old description (I haven't climbed it) I am beyond confident it's not overhung (only rated 5.8/9) but it might be dead vertical in spots. But even still the crux pitch is something like "the 147 foot lead," something odd like that. So not 300 feet. But who knows, could be a FA line there. Nothing with the stated requirements (13er/14er. 300 foot+ dead vertical or overhanging section, obscure i.e. not the Diamond) comes to my mind.
