"What Do I Do?"
Although he appeared to be very strong, this fellow seemed like a beginner rock climber. He reached this height and stopped, clinging to the fingerholds. He kept calling down to someone (about an additional 50 feet out of the frame) for instructions on how to proceed. We watched for 20 minutes and he did not proceed further during that time. He was about halfway to the summit.
Evidently rock climbing is permitted in this area because there was a climber on each rock face near the parking area. Some were experienced; some seemed like they were stuck, like the guy in the picture.
