Re: I don't wanna go too close

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the picture. From this vantage point (south) the summit block looks very precarious, but from the north it appears to be safely wedged in place. Having said that, I'm sure I'd hold my breath if I were to step on it.

Re: What in the world...

From where you climb, which is opposite to the viewpoint of this picture, the summit block looks and feels thoroughly solid. The block is also larger than one would think, and a few hundred pounds worth of climbers hardly make a difference.
