A Rebus puzzle is a group of pictures and symbols that add up to a word or phrase. They can be about anything (see the example problems), but the batch of puzzles we have for you today are all about climbing in canyonlands, and the types of moves you might make there and a place you might go. See if you can figure out who they are, and good luck! And stay tuned, we’ll post a new Rebus puzzle every week.
