| Spider Rock, Canyon de Chelly | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] |
Spider Rock in Canyon de Chelly (pronounced "shay"), AZ. 800 feet high. Unlikely you can secure permission to climb this rock because it's jointly run by the National Park Service and the Navajo Nation, which still has residents on the canyon floor. Indian legend has it that Spider Woman lives on top of this rock, and that she takes children up to the top who are bad. There, she devours them, leaving their bleached bones to turn the top of Spider Rock white. Imaged in June 2003.

| mountaingazelle | Nice photo | | 
Voted 10/10 | I agree with Dean, this is an excellent photo of Spider Rock. I think that this is the one that Clint Eastwood climbs in the movie the Eiger Sanction. | | Posted Apr 7, 2006 3:53 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thanks, MountainGazelle. I have Eiger Sanction on DVD. I'm going to have to check that out. | | Posted Apr 10, 2006 12:09 am |

Hasn't voted | I only wish that I could one day climb it! But, I probably will never see the day. And yes, it is the one that is in The Eiger Sanction and that was last time anyone was allowed to climb it! Nice shot. | | Posted Apr 28, 2006 9:38 pm |
