It's not talus, but if you want anatomically-correct boulders...

As for talus, some of the worst I've seen was below "MacLeod Pass," west of Table and Thunder in the Sierra Nevada:

For a twenty-one gun salute ..."


For all talus hoppers and boulder jumpers ... :wink:

I finally found some bears who offer service instead of asking for it.

One will rock,

one will carry us back,

one will stand guard,

...and one will roll some some more talus.
