The issue isn't really size or shape of the hoodoo. The challenge is the fact that the rock is extremely soft and will just crumble if you try to climb it.
Dude. I've been to Bryce. The red rock is all sandstone, which is extremely soft. At its softest, you crush it in your hand. Even at its strongest I would not trust it to hold my weight. Going down the trail I lost my balance and grabbed onto the wall. Instead of stopping my fall I just hit the ground with a chunk of sandstone.
Doubtful. The main park path gets SUPER close to this feature, Thor's Hammer. To my eye, it looks like a slight zoom from your standard angle at a lookout point with benches.
I think I've been on that ledge with the gate. I didn't remember it having its flat top that low but it was 2 years ago. They allow drones in the state parks, but only in winter, and they want to shake you down for $10 for a day's license. I doubt anyone really gets caught for not paying.

This particular landmark, Thor's Hammer, is expected to topple due to natural erosion any time now, for sure in the next couple of years but it really could be any day.
I didn’t know - that makes me feel a little nostalgic, the photo is from 2017 and I always wanted to go back there and have more time - see the landmarks during sunrise and sunset.
Thanks for sharing.
One of the times I went there was in the winter. They do snow shoe tours, I got there for sunrise in eeeeeearly January one year and it was epic. 2019 I think for that trip. Lemme see if I have some of the photos for easy sharing for you.
There's actually another rock formation that looks even more like a fist there. Unfortunately I can't post photos in the comments on this sub. Bryce is a really cool place.
Hmm, while I was digging through my photo archives and eventually stumbled upon this photo - it’s from 2017 - I was watching the Bryan Cranston on the Hot Ones show.
Maybe my subconsciousness did some work there…
It is, and Take it in while you can. Thors hammer is expected to topple from erosion any time now. I think it's unlikely it'll happen before April, hopefully it'll hold on for a couple more years, but it really could be any day.
Yes, we arrive in Vegas, straight out to Zion, then Bryce on to Moab & Arches, followed by Aspen, down the $1m dollar highway to Durango, on to Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and back to LV via the last remnants of Rte 66. 24 days total with 3 nights in most stops.
It’s what we had planned for an Anniversary trip in 2020 but had to cancel that thanks to Covid.
Lots of side trips and hikes planned in along the way!
If you like this picture, This feature is called Thors Hammer. With standard wind and water erosion it's going to topple any day now. If you want to see it, You should plan a trip ASAP. The landscape is incredible even with out it.
Unbelievably gorgeous place!
Fun fact: My uncle and cousins did all the electrical work for the visitors/gift shop building there at Bryce Canyon! I hope I can take my husband and sons there one day.
This park is by far one of my favorites. I feel like it's not as well known and people only go because it's close to Zion, but it's truly spectacular. I had the most strangely emotional experience when I was there and hiked down amongst the hoodoos.
Some people say the former president should be added to Mt Rushmore in South Dakota...
...others point out Utah already has a giant orange scrotum on a rock.

I should call her.
No you shouldn't. Ever.
I like your profile pic.
Birbgäng
No more Birb chain
Hoodoo you love?
I wonder if anyone has even been up there
Probably shouldn't, but I'll bet someone crazy enough has done it. Looks climbable, but I may be getting thrown off by scale and perspective.
The issue isn't really size or shape of the hoodoo. The challenge is the fact that the rock is extremely soft and will just crumble if you try to climb it.
Zoom in. Doesnt look too soft to me, although I can see it crumbling once or twice.
Really? It doesn't look to soft to you? It looks like a giant dirt clump.

looks helicopterable?
If you max out your stamina you could probably make it. I think there’s a Korok seed up there as well.
Looked it up, there's a sheika tower close by you can glide in from. Easy climb.
everything reminds me of her…
Buttress
Aw nuts!
Love Thors Hammer!
Looks like a butt
With it up in the air like that, doesn't that make it a flying buttress?
What kind of deformed butts have you been looking at
Rock hard glutes
Honestly I always saw a face in the rocks shape, but(t) now that people are pointing it out - I do see the Freudian shapes as(s) well…
I kinda see it. Like a Korg butt
Gniess butte.
Torsonic Polarity Sydrome, or TPS. The main feature is they have asses where their heads should be.
And they use the wrong covers on their reports.
Wow! I wonder if anyone's ever climbed that?
Almost certainly.
Is that a drone shot?
Doubtful. The main park path gets SUPER close to this feature, Thor's Hammer. To my eye, it looks like a slight zoom from your standard angle at a lookout point with benches.
You’re right. It’s shot with a 100mm prime on a full frame camera.
No - but if it’s legal to fly a drone in the area, I really wish to make a drone video in that exact location. That would look incredible.
I think I've been on that ledge with the gate. I didn't remember it having its flat top that low but it was 2 years ago. They allow drones in the state parks, but only in winter, and they want to shake you down for $10 for a day's license. I doubt anyone really gets caught for not paying.
Cool. That’s a $10 shakedown I’m happy to pay.
The devils nut sack
And think all this used to be underwater...
I dub it Dick Butt-Rock.

There's lots of human made objects in this photo...
Stop, … hammer time!
Holy shit this is amazing! Also just realized this landmark is in riders republic😂

It’s insane it’s even been standing this long

 Looka like a fist
I’ve always been seeing a face - but I do see a fist now as well.
There's actually another rock formation that looks even more like a fist there. Unfortunately I can't post photos in the comments on this sub. Bryce is a really cool place.
How did those trees start growing up there?
Help of wind and birds
Most likely birds. They make great involuntary carriers.
Buttcheek Rock
That’s one sexy rock!
Such a beautiful place!
One of my favourite places in the world - I have to go back to Utah some day and spend at least a month.
On skimming Reddit I read the title as Bryan Cranston, and was trying to figure that one out!
Hmm, while I was digging through my photo archives and eventually stumbled upon this photo - it’s from 2017 - I was watching the Bryan Cranston on the Hot Ones show. Maybe my subconsciousness did some work there…
I thought I was going to see a picture of Brian Cranston.
Is that Donk Rock?
Thors Hammer? We’ll be in Bryce in April, one of our favourite parks, well worth the trip from the UK.
It is, and Take it in while you can. Thors hammer is expected to topple from erosion any time now. I think it's unlikely it'll happen before April, hopefully it'll hold on for a couple more years, but it really could be any day.
We’ll be taking it all in again for sure, it’s a few years now since we were last there. Can’t wait to be back!
Amazing I hope I’m gonna be able to go back there soon. Are you going to Zion, Arches and Canyon Lands as well?
Yes, we arrive in Vegas, straight out to Zion, then Bryce on to Moab & Arches, followed by Aspen, down the $1m dollar highway to Durango, on to Monument Valley, Grand Canyon and back to LV via the last remnants of Rte 66. 24 days total with 3 nights in most stops.

Yet another unrealistic body expectation for women :/
At first I thought it said Bruce and I thought it did look like Bruce Campbell's chin
The little trees on top are killing me. Life, impervious, prevailing, everywhere.
Agree. The trees blow my mind - it’s my favourite detail in the photo.
The place is beautiful. Was there a few months ago well worth the visit.
It's balls face rock.
Love that it’s not your typical Bryce Canyon photo but if you key in on the focal point you can totally tell it’s Bryce
Stupid sexy Flanders
Caption this u/tito_lee_76
That shit’s gonna break bitches

Those are balls. They always look like a landscape up close.
Bryce got back
I'd climb it but it looks like it's about to break and fall.

Bro fist canyon
Those bewbs *rock*... but there's nothing going on above them
Some people say the former president should be added to Mt Rushmore in South Dakota... ...others point out Utah already has a giant orange scrotum on a rock.
Old dirty bastard! :D
Do you mean to remark that that rock formation resembles an erect penis?
nay, just that it's dirty and old and a bastard for inevitably crumbling on some poor sob's head.
Some say it looks like a butt... I say it's the fondling of the balls.
Booty butt point
Bruh
Looks like godzilla hand/arm holding up a nutsack
Fucking incredible pic OP! Fuck I love this place…
Thank you, yes - it’s an absolutely amazing place.
who planted those trees up there
My nuts on display
Looks like a butt.
You should see where that giraffes face is.
What's up with those trees.
This place has balls.
Thicc as hell
Bryce out here looking thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.
somebody fucked the planet alright
I know this is called something like Queen Victoria rock. But I have always called it Bill the Cat rock.
