Toehold
Especially around Comb Ride and Escalante in southern Utah, hard pieces of desert are marked by prehistoric toeholds. They unfurl down cliffs like rope ladders thrown over a ship's gunwhales. This is a nice, clean, deep toehold on a cliff on the Navajo Reservation. It was cut into the rock some thousand years ago, and belongs to a string of holds leading to a cliff dwelling high above. This is a particularly good example. Most toeholds are little deeper than soap dishes.
