Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge

For those of you who don't know, I have been an avid rock climber since before the invention of the spring-loaded camming device! With April coming to a close, and things settling down at work, I took some time to get back out on the rock with a couple of new friends and coworkers. The Wichitas are one of my favorite places on this planet. The scenery, the wildlife and the climbing are all world class! Generally, when you're climbing, your hands are full (either of the rock you're climbing, or the safety rope of the partner you're belaying) so taking photos is difficult. I have vivid memories of the Canyon Wrens I heard laughing at me, and the squirrels scampering nonchalantly across cliff faces I could never HOPE to climb! but no proof. Between climbs, however, I was able to capture a few images of some of the creatures that make the refuge a special place.
