The Avon Gorge is naturally popular amongst climbers too. There's also four tiny sightseers at the very top to the right of the solitary tree can you just see the man with the outstretched arm ? They give the scene a nice bit of scale. :o)

Very beautiful shot with nice colors and composition!
Had to view it at 1800x1125 to be able to see the other climbers...but it does show just how big the gorge is!
Great work!

Well, I ain't climbing up there. I'll take the elevator. Another nice shot of this cliff. Now...did you climb it?

No wonder you need your sleep. All that climbing and you're not a kid anymore. Good angle and the climbers at top really add perspective. They're probaly saying how you look like an ant way down there. Good coloring and composition Phil.

Hey, Flossy, this is great! I'd love to climb up there. I bet the view is fantastic.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

What a drop off. If you hadn't mentioned the tourists, I would have missed them. Amazing gorge.
