Hi-res photo of Lion's Back in Moab?

[scoutabout]

Does anyone have any hi-res photos of Lion's Back (with or without vehicles) in Moab? Looking for some to put in an article being written for the next compass magazine. Please email me steve at u4wda.org.

In the first pic, is that a rig wedged into the crack below?

Yep... a 4Runner as going up & tried to pass an descending vehicle. The 4Runner flopped, landed on their side & slid off the hill. The driver ended up with a broken ankle & some busted ribs, IIRC. That happened in about 2001 EJS.

Yeah, looks to be one. I believe it's a 4-runner?? I think it happened a few years ago when I was down there but I don't quite remember how it happened...just remember seeing the life-flight and they had shut Lion's back down.
