 02 - I was slow enough everyone had time to smell the flowers. |
 03 - Brian stopped to show me where not to go. |
 04 - The far side of the valley. That little rock is a goal for next time. |
 05 - Perched precariously on the end of a steep drop, Annette is thinking, "I hope clumsiness isn't contagious..." |
 06 - Liege Lord Brian is master of all he surveys. |
 07 - So I had to come get into his business! |
 08 - It was a long step back onto terra firma. |
 09 - But we made it, and found this tiny plant. |
 10 - And the fluff of eagles, whom we were higher than. |
 11 - Annette turned us all into crack addicts. |
 12 - Brian begins his ascent of the towering vertical wall. |
 13 - Nice form! |
 14 - The view of the top from the bottom. |
 15 - Our route was pretty much up through that poison oak grove. |
 16 - I perfect the "wow, I'm still alive" look. |
 17 - Dangerous critters abounded as we approached the car. |
 18 - I tried to stealthily move in on it. |
 19 - Everyone else was actually doing something useful. |
 20 - The squirrel turns on me! Attack! |
 21 - Brian thows up his hands as the rope emerges triumphant. |
