Two weekends ago
shirokarasu and I went to Grandfather Mtn to take pics (which is where the bear and mtn lion pics came from). I've tried a few times to get a pic that captures the sense of height when you are going up the ladders... this is the closest I've gotten:

It's pretty big, about 500k and 1500x1000, so you can see the ladders. If you look carefully, you can see three ladders, and the top of a fourth. A fifth is hidden behind the rock with the blue arrow. You can also see a grab cable attached to that rock.
