harness the guys were in to chisel into the rock.

Great photo behind Gary, shows size of a man compared to just the nose. The pattern of chisel / punch marks can be seen in this photo.

1/10th the size.

Pretty walk / hike up a bunch of steps to get close to the presidents faces. Definitely worth it!!!
