Magnetic

A line that draws you to it. Then comes the hard part, I guess. What a fab place to be.

Re: Magnetic

Ray - Thanks, I appreciate the comment. It was a great trip, only time I've been in the Crestones. It's amazing what you can miss in your own back yard.

Some back yard

Hi Steve
If that's near your back yard. I want the same. I live in Exmoor, UK, great and beautiful cycling country, though now no Field Service Engineer job to get me around.
I'll be back!

And again on the photo - what is really stunning is the close presence of the mountain. Portrays power in every sense. And the fab, rising line set against the clear blue sky, the rock colour and the black silhouette of the trees, really set it off. Simple colours. But that's what works best.

Re: Great photo

Thanks. I haven't climbed it yet, but would like to get back in there and get on a bunch of the alpine climbs in the area - they all look like fun.
