Rock Climbing

This was a photograph I took in Joshua Tree National Park while I was there attending a photography class. As we were walking to the area we were planning to photograph we spotted these people climbing this lone standing rock face. 

When I was sixteen and just joined the railways in England I had to got on a compulsory one week long outward bounds course. This course was a lot of fun for a sixteen year old. We had to canoe, orienteering, potholing, rappelling down a cliff and of course rock climb. Well heights were never really my thing, mind you as I got older I find I mind them less. So we had to climb an 80 foot high cliff, it was scary but I was very proud of myself too for doing it. In fact the whole class was a lot of fun and I got to learn a lot about myself.
