Delicate Arch behind pyramid-shaped point at upper left

Near Delicate Arch (Arches National Park)

So far the going has been easy, with minor detours at pour-offs the only inconvenience. From
here the route angles right on bedrock to the wall, follows the wall to the wavy cliff straight
ahead, then turns right and goes behind the wall. What enchantments lie around the corner?
The wavy cliff looks like this close-up: http://www.pbase.com/image/63353276 .

I didn't know it at the time, but Delicate Arch is to the left of the pyramid-shaped point
on the ridge. Just behind those ridge points are hikers enjoying the view of the arch.
