Seen this from a distance; never got as close as any of these shots.

I’ve seen it from a great spot at the bottom of the boulder field...simply awesome and truly gigantic. Photos just can’t do justice to the size of it - it’s just huge.
Had to stop at the keyhole on that climb; another climber had fallen off a cliff a bit further ahead and they had to bring in a helicopter to retrieve his body, so the trail above the keyhole was closed for the afternoon.
You would *not* see me attempting an ascent of the face. Wow.

That’s one brave girl, I can’t even climb on a ladder without my knees shaking.
Beautiful images.

Are free climbers able to obtain insurance?

I’ve climbed the backside twice, once with my daughter and her future husband (he proposed to her at the top), but this is the first time I’ve seen the front side close up. Ai yai yai, that’s a scary position that girl’s in.

She seems to be free climbing the face; pretty extreme. She’s got bigger balls than I do.
