Thimble Tarantula

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

This particular spring day we saw 4 tarantulas en route to Thimble Peak. One friend finally decided that he should allow the tarantula to crawl down his head and onto his back...

...that wouldn't quite be just my cup o'tea! That "Viech" just has a couple creepy crawly long legs too many for my liking...

	Hasn't voted	You are telling me! I held it in my hand for several seconds, but then dropped it when I freaked out. My friend however wanted it on his head! He is from South Africa and maybe a bit braver than the rest of us...

	Hasn't voted	Eric, "Rest assured, no tarantulas were harmed in the filming of this SummitPost Route." Ok, Hans...no way. I think tarantulas are neat to look at, but would not let one climb on me, as your friend did. On night backpacking down in the Grand Canyon without tents, I left my sleeping bag to go take a bio break and, upon my return, in the beam of my headlamp, was a tarantula running around our uncovered sleeping bags. Think I slept well that night?!?!?! Sarah

	Voted 10/10	When I did the Grand Canyon, we took a lightweight tent only for fear of tarantulas...

The only way I like seeing these is via pictures!...

Sarah, I'm pretty sure I would not get any sleep either.

Just thinking about one of these crawling on me is enough to give me nightmares...
