Down through the "Fat Womens Squeeze"









One can choose to follow the trails of the valley floor or the rim. A commanding view of the cliff and rock shelter is offered at Lookout Point on the East Rim Trail. They had a rope blocking off the rim around the cliff. The rope caused me to hesitate for a moment, but after a quick glimpse around, I shuffled around the ledge anyway. The rope was not much of a deterrent and I figured it was probably just put in place because of liability concerns. That way if I fell to my death they would not be sued. We will go with that, besides I felt overwhelmingly compelled to traverse the ledge to the other side.










Narrow passageways caused by large slump blocks that have fallen away from the main cliff. The most narrow passage has been sarcastically named Fat Womens Squeeze.
