Climbing the Tempest Wall!

Here is Scott Bennett climbing on the Tempest wall near Leavenworth in Washington's Cascades.

We bet he's climbing to the top to reach a pot of our soup!

Climbing in the Verdon Gorge

Photograpy by Keith Ladzinski

"This particular area is accessed via kayak because of the immense canyon walls - it's the only way in" says climber Jonathan Siegrist, pictured above at around 225 feet above the Verdon River in France's Verdon Gorge. The canyon is considered to be one of the most beautiful in Europe, which we can see why from the image above. It's not far from the French Riviera and is an extremely popular area with tourists - and rock climbers of course.

This really is a picturesque scene and somewhere we would love to go for a nice long walk or even an adventure!
