Heidi & I have a fair number of obscure sandstone photos, but a lot of them are ruined.

Wonderful. Looking at those pics of Wadi Rum reminds me how much I regret not having a chance to visit when I was there 20 yrs. ago. The area around Petra is similar but not nearly as big or dramatic.

Where are the East Coast climbers? Think of the bullet hard sandstone in the New River Gorge and elsewhere.

Drinking 10 liters of water daily

that spot is on the list for sure SLR. any idea who started leaving fixed anchors/using ropes there?
so funny how a foreign sandstone can look like something else to me - that distant gray massif coulda fooled me for limestone.
bumping for the midwestern mossy nooks with their quarry walls and fine arboreal ambiance

Great photos folks! Thanks for taking the time to post them up!
Exotic sandstone? Other than the SW, my only other sandstone photo is of my old pal Chris demonstrating Austrian ski instruction rappel technicque at Peshastin Pinnacles WA in 1974.
Other than that, all my other sandstone photos are ruined.
