More pictures from the Cirque of the Unclimbables. While we were on our 5 day backpacking trip there we met a group a 4 french climbers who helicoptered in for 12 days to make an attempt on Lotus Flower tower (thats the peak on about the left third of the picture (very vertical)) during the one nice day we were there they managed to get ropes up on the first 3 pitches (of 18), other than that they had spent 5 of their 12 days there waiting out the weather.

Sucks to be them. Another great shot. You had some nice clouds that day. Makes these shots so much better.

I like the perspective.
I'd turn back - it could be an ambush!
