I’ve done some fairly risky climbing when I was younger and less smart, and even had a few close calls which I luckily survived without getting hurt. Nothing extensive like in the photo, but even a modest fall on rocks can mess you up.
I’ve done most of my hiking and outdoor adventuring alone, so I’ve been mostly risk-aversive out there, and this is nothing I would have done solo…unless I just climbed it with the ropes.
Weird . . . the email notification had words inside the post. This only has the photo.
Regardless, a nice scene. I think I would have enjoyed climbing (20 years ago).
I had to click to see the ropes. For a moment it looked as if she was free-climbing.

That’s strange…there are words on the draft, the preview, and words again when I went to the last post and then clicked to advance to this post….
Yes, I agree that it’s a nice scene. I’ve never used ropes and climbing gear; have always been on a trail or bush-whacking along the mountainsides.

I’m not finding any text in the post either.

It almost looks like we’re commenting on the photo, and not on the post….
If you click on the name of the blog and then on the post, the comments are all there….strange.

I’m not sure what it is but it takes something that I don’t have inside of me to do that. What a view!

Maybe it’s not so daunting from the climber’s perspective…and yes, it’s quite a view!
