Petit Grepon

Must see view for the Climbing Junkie ...  ... https://ehhsdean.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/petite-grepon1.jpg  (Not my photo)

Photo  
I took this photo while descending the Petit Grepon in Rocky Mountain National Park, CO. After finishing the climb we did several double rope rappels to retreat from this needle. Petit Grepon is a classic climb and is well known. The rappel was very airy and I was feeling a little nervous not knowing why. I looked around and realized that I had exposure on all sides which was a little unusual. I zoomed in for this photo as my second came down.
