Thanks, Julie. Haha, this is an EASY climb. You should see the difficult stuff they climb! Cheers, -mikey

Beautiful composition, half red, half blue in an impressive diagonal. I can't believe though that people would choose to climb this. Julie

Thanks for the comments, y'all. Mary Anne, its fun once you get past the fear of death. ";^D Doug, I shot this in RAW and Adobe Camera Raw brought up the rocks nicely. Brent, I haven't climbed it myself, but it does look fun; about a 5.2 with one section @ 5.6 or so. These rocks have a lot of figure and holds are abundant; they are a bit sandy for my taste, tho (who like to eat sand?":^). Thanks again, -mikey

Very nice Mikey- love that blue gradient in the sky. Looks to be great rock and a fun route they are climbing- have you done it yourself? ~Brent

Now this the Mikey we have come to know. Beautiful and no blue bears. Cheers, and for tonight, bourbon (fooled you who were thinking beers- hehe). -tv

Impressive work Mikey. The Garden of the Gods is just that. Almost HDR like with the exposure on the rocks. -COAmature

This is a great image, and i especially like the hint of the sun coming through the top left. Well done Mickey. Very powerful. jano

Not my idea of fun, but it's a great shot, Mikey! --Mary Anne

Well, that's enough to give me nightmares! ;^) I like how the rocks nicely divide the space. The colors are great! d.tallakson
