Re: The Hillside
Guys, I've been to the edge of the cliff in person and let me tell you these pictures don't do justice to the type of site Nick's got on his hands. All I could say is WOW!
 The topography is extreme and the rock work completed is awesome  .This place is not for the faint of heart(you've got to like heights).  Scott
