I guess you would have to wear weight belts or rocket packs to simulate gravity. No crowds though...

That's a cool looking slanting crack in the center!
I heard the other day that one of the rover's is going deep into Victoria Crater and may not be able to get back out. But those little workhorses just keep running and running, they're long overdue of when they were supposed to stop running. Awesome stuff we can do in space nowadays! That picture is just stunning too!
Thanks for posting it.

I think there is a Martian in a yellow North Face jacket at the top of the first pitch of that crack in the center of the photo.

Read the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson for some more glimpses of what could be, once upon a time in the far future... If I remember right the protagonists also do a little climbing.

Read all three. Very good series of books about the colonization of Mars.

Good Mars reading, not even slightly realistic but well suited to long plane rides or slow days at the beach: Dan Simmons' (author of Hyperion, etc.) fat new epic Ilium.
