I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

LOL

was the angle where I was shooting from... I could have taken you off belay and walked to the left or right to get the better angle but I'm sure you appreciated my trusty belay. hehe I like the photo mainly for the frosty trees. :)

on another note. The routes Dave Peabody is on are not exaggerated. They are that steep.

Nice pics Fred. I wish we would have made some time to stop there on our way through.
