View from Rabbit Ears RidgeThe down-river view from the ridge next to the Rabbit Ears camp. You can see Rabbit Ears next to the cactus, but it doesn't stand out very well because of the overcast day.

Traversing the CrackThere is a large crack that Z-man is going over. Makes one feel like the rock you are on is about to fall off. Eerie.
