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.

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.
