Kevin Jorgeson climbing "Fantasia" at Lover's Leap, a popular granite climbing destination near Lake Tahoe in California's Sierra Nevada mountains. The cliff is known for its distinct horizontal quartz dikes which make interesting climbing. This route is considered a risky mental test piece because of its lack of good cracks for protection. It was first climbed in 1973 by Royal Robbins and Ken Wilson. https://images.robertharding.com/zoom/RF/CI/HORIZONTAL/857-63904.jpg857-63904https://www.robertharding.com/licenses-explained/https://www.robertharding.com/preview/857-63904/kevin-jorgeson-climbing-fantasia-lovers-leap-popular-granite/

The Bull Jumping Ceremony is conducted by several tribes in the Lower Omo Valley and is the most important ceremony in a tribal man's life.The ceremony is about hierarchy and membership in the tribe and typically involves a young man who undergoes a number of rituals before he leaps onto and runs rapidly over a series of cattle held by other men who have recently bull-jumped. Once the jumping is completed, the bull-jumper is a man in the eyes of the tribe. An important part of the ceremony is a ritualistic whipping, which women actively seek out from certain men known as Mazha.
