Zion National Park - day 2

Half-a-mile to go--straight-up

Well, all I can say is that we got back safely, Baruch Hashem. Today was composed of 2.5 miles of a very steep hike before a 1/2 mile of heart thumping, adrenalin pumping, rock climbing stuff.

A good time to hold me tight

There were many times on this Angels Landing climb, when I peeked down and thought to myself "why on earth am I here in this position"..... and then I looked up, grabbed the next chain and continued up. If one likes 'climbs', this is it! One has to navigate across 3 narrow bridges with 1500 ft of sheer drop offs on either side, to get to the summit. One bad calculation, and you're history. This is the third time we have done this climb and it does not get any easier. To top it off, coming down is no fun either - now one is actually looking "down" over the edges instead of up to the next level. WoW! It was great....maybe meshugah but great nevertheless.
