The Wave - Part 2

 lots of photos below - may take a while to load

 even more photos on flickr

 The final approach

The younguns got there first.

Good thing we got an early  start because the sun was getting strong

and the last climb up to the wave itself was a bit of a huff-puff.

But we were there

 There were stunning images everywhere

 Originally carved by water, now sculpted primarily by wind

A puddle in the first passage

 Shelley climbing to the head of the wave...

Lines, lots of lines....

 Way above, an arch

 lunch

And there was more...

 the sand which carves was occasionally in evidence and made climbing to get views looking down somewhat problimatic

 - this was NOT the place to sprain an ankle

and more

 Harley bounding down a passage

There was much more to explore, but our fitness level strongly suggested

we consider this enough.  We took the hint. At the end we were glad we did 

even Harley was tired.
