Training Day

Arches National Park

The young lad squeezed into the crevice on the left of the image is about 10 years old. He was
learning to rock climb under the guidance of his dad who is not in the shot but was watching closely
and voicing encouragement from nearby.

I talked briefly with the father about his student and he mentioned about not being able to keep the
kid on the ground and mumbled something about it being a good thing his mom wasn't around. :)

The father claimed to be climber and looked it too.

This is the South Window at Arches NP.

You had to do a little rock climbing yourself to get this shot. I've been there and know the "lay of the land".

Excellent clarity and exposure :)
