    I love the sweater! But, I must admit: I'd be a little nervous in the spring-thingy shoes that close to a cliff

    Weird, my big thing was that Z Coils with a kilt would be too much. I did have the same fear hiking in Z Coils initially but have found in the field that they actually give you a second chance. When I start to slip, if I'd been in regular boots or shoes I'd probably twist an ankle. Them Z Coils actually slow down the slip and give me time to recover - a second chance. But, around here, you're wise to be leary of sandstone - aka "Slick Rock."

    Cliffside hiking in a kilt probably does have one disadvantage...if you slip the kilt flys up and obscures your last scenic view of Earth as you fall to your death.

    P1M,

    The "snaw" is in the mail for sure...its 6,000 feet plus on Hopi...not always a good thing when it comes. Pretty though.

    Great picture, Ron. You must have a good sense of balance to stay in such a precarious position long enough for a photo shoot.
