Snapshot: Scaling the Shale, Braving the Heat in Lakewood

Despite the high temperatures, rock climber Mark Leciejewski takes on one of the Metroparks' steep shale hills off Hogsback Lane.

Without the use of rappelling or rock climbing gear, Mark Leciejewski, 28, Sheffield Lake, stays in the shade and traverses one of the Lakewood reservation's steep shale hills.

Not only was Leciejewski braving the heights, but also the high temperatures. 

It's expected to remain a little uncomfortable over the next few days, with the high today at a humid 86 degrees.
