MarcsoltanPretty,

Voted 10/10

yet deadly. He looks ready to strike. Sure like to see one, but I like to see him first.
Happy climbing Dow,
Marc

true Marc, I could have easily stepped on him or near him in this instance...as it turned out had some climbing friends from Ireland so it was quite a treat for them...cheers

you know, I love all animals..and never mind getting up close and personal with grizzlies and rattlers....but watching a few battles with venom on a Discovery Channel special called "I shouldn't be Alive" keeps one honest about possible consequences. Different folks react different ways, not to mention the amount of venom injected can make a profound difference in ones experience. Cheers

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
