Vasquez Rocks
I climbed the big one!
let me tell you, it was scary. harder than it looks from this distance. i stopped in the middle of that leaning segment on the right to catch my breath and ponder whether to go all the way to the peak or not, as I feared for my well-being. i did eventually after 10 minutes or so when a group of similar aged young peoples(most of whom were girlz! I couldn't let some gurls beat me, ya know?) did not even hesitate to climb it. and so I did after finding the safest route. thereafter we(me, my friend, and these other stangers) just sat on the small level surface at the summit, taking in the view.
