Please don't say anyone tries to climb them! OMG. They are so thin! They look like a mighty wind could knock them right over!

Astounding.

I would hope no one even stands near them on the ground!

Can't imagine how they are so tall, so thin, and are still standing.

Those thin mountains within the chain absolutely are the first ones I've seen in any photographs.

Thank you for introducing them to those of us who never knew about them.
