After Man's experience with a cholla and his shoe,
P-I-C-K-Y, P-I-C-K-Y, he is not a bit more cautious, so, when we were taking a short hike he used his walking stick to poke at this particular cholla. (Well, I think it is another cholla, still working on identifications of all these new plants.)
I stabbed at the remnants of one of these on the trail and those pokers stuck in the tip of my walking stick. I really don't want to find out what that feels like in skin. OUCHIE!
Here is an entire
field, err, hillside, of em, zoomed (20 times) up the mountain side to get the photo, it is not the best, out of focus a bit. That said, do you want to try to climb that hillside?? Nope, me either!

Owie is right! Coming from first hand experience many times over. Go way out of your way to stay AWAY from them, especially the pieces lying on the ground. Oh the stories I could tell!! lol
Still I love their almost silver color in the light. Sharp as they are, they soften the view.
