  • A nearby climber works his way up a very difficult climb next to <i>Fuzzy Undercling</i>.
  • Richard followed us up <i>Fuzzy Undercling</i> as well, looking somewhat tired.
  • A hands-free rest gives Richard a respite from the pumpy climbing on <i>Fuzzy Undercling 5.11</i>.
  • Richards grins upwards from the namesake hold on <i>Fuzzy Undercling 5.11</i>, where you can wedge a leg in and take both hands completely off the rock, should you feel like it.

  • Kelsey hops merrily across a footbridge on the trail to Natural Arch.
  • An old light socket sits empty atop a pole over the trail to Natural Arch.
  • Fall colors shine brilliant under a blue sky.
