The rock there looks really rough and jagged so t would probably not be tough to get good grib.......even with sandals. He's even hot his tripod and gear in one arm.

Thanks for that, ya, the original is very misleading without showing that part of the formation.

I've done a couple of those before in my life. Just this spring I was out at Arches National Park, climbing something or another to get a vantage point, and I eventually found myself hugged up against a vertical wall that I needed to scramble horizontally across to get to another ledge. I had my 20lb camera bag against my hip and tripod slung across my shoulder, and I had no more footholds or handholds within reaching distance, and a pretty nasty fall at the bottom. At one point I was guaging whether releasing my grip would kill me, and after estimating that it would, I just more or less lept for a handhold. Good thing I got it

It's all about teh pictars!

 

[ViviTheMage]

is he wearing sandles...

 

[lokiju]

Holy Shiat! :shocked:


And to think how scared it made me feel just to do this.

 

[ArchCenturion]

lol EZ, you guys are a bunch of Pvssies!!

 

[Fritzo]

What they didn't show is right below the picutre edge is a truck full of matresses.

 

[Sukhoi]

Heh I think I've actually been to that exact location, or else one that looks very similar. It's on the north rim, maybe a mile up from the lodge on the west side.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I wouldn't do that with nothing in my hands and a gun pointed at my head.

What a lunatic!

 

[mrrman]

what an idiot
