Look at the muscles! Wouldn't catch me doing this - diving yes, climbing no. Great action shot.

Cool capture. SHE makes it look real easy.

Fred from Easton PA, United States

That looks like a tough wall to climb, makes me miss my rock climbing days.
Great capture.

@Fred: Never too old Fred - BTW the drop to the ground was all of six inches, but I didn't want you to see that!

Fred from Easton PA, United States

Good job, you fooled me with the drop distance haha . Back in the day some friends and I used to traverse this cliff every weekend ( weather permitting of course ) http://fredbarr.aminus3.com/image/2006-10-10.html no ropes, no special climbing gear. Looking back on it we only brought along our idiocy and a few six packs !

By the way, your probably right about not being to old to make he assent, but I bet it would take a hell of alot longer now !

It was quite enjoyable though , especially on those rare occasions when small planes would actually fly below us. I'm sure if I search hard enough I might even find some old prints from the top of this mountain over looking the river.

@Fred: Now, those prints would be worth gold! Keep searching! Thanks Fred for your great comments!
