    boooo! you got me all excited (I'm on such a climbing kick lately)

    cool shot, too bad the climbers look like they're dressed for an MTV game show rather than climbing, but we'll let that go this time! lol3.gif

    When did you do this? (or take the photo) I was at Disneyland on Christmas Day and I saw people climbing the mountain in those same outfits.

    I wonder if they played basketball when they got to the top.:D (There's a basketball hoop a little above the middle of the mountain inside of it that a climber nailed to a support a long time ago.)

    We were there on the 19th and 20th of December. Spent a few days before heading up to San Francisco.

    You know, I didn't even notice that part till you pointed it out. They really aren't even climbing... they're wearing chest harnesses and literally pulling each other up! I thought they were at least top-roping.
