Life on the Edge
A short distance just outside of Boulder as you start to head up Canyon Blvd. into the mountains there is a popular rock climbing spot. There is one arrangement of rocks that folks use for training. This time of year there are usually one or two people there learning how to use the ropes and to practice their moves. The first two photos show one of the practice climbers.
Across the river are numerous large sheer cliffs. These rocks are not for armatures. In the third and fourth photos below you can see the climber on the lower right. I tried to get a close up but it was hard to capture the magnitude of the cliff and the climber in the same shot.
This is not my sport but I admire the courage and strength of those who go for it. This sport really does put your life on the edge in a very literal sense.

John, I realize that to some people this is great fun and a great challenge, but to me this is just crazy! Great photos!
This indeed does look like a good place to test your skills. The rocks are beautiful but I think I'll stick to working out at the gym.
I love the shape of the rock...Looks like a work of art!
It is a challenge to climb ...
John,
I would not do well on the edge....
