We are just now getting into the steep stuff- and I do mean steep! But we are still climbing the front of the cliff adjacent to our goal and I'm *still* not seeing how we are going to get up to Angels Landing.
Break time.
We finally cross over to the back side of Angels Landing. After climbing switchbacks forever while getting baked by the rising sun and heat (probably close to 80 now), we finally turn a corner and emerge into a beautiful shaded valley between the two cliffs.
