Chaz - Great stuff, thanx a ton man. I had no idea how much effort people had already put into this.
How about mini-blimps or something that you can fly around without wind?

This is a cool thread Chaz. I want a mini blimp for taking pictures around the valley.

That's cool. Have you ever tried flying that over a nudist colony?

Awesome!
Can you see what is in the viewfinder, or do you just guess and take tons of shots hoping one will come out?

Thank you - a rather cool idea. It reminds me a bit of the pictures from a balloon floating over the summit of Everest, about 15 years ago.

Hey Chaz,
Cool. I've been hoping to get my own KAP setup going this spring, after seeing Scott Haefner's images. They are so awesome. I thought he was the only person doing such stuff, then I found a whole community online once I researched it.
Keep posting those aerial pix. Totally rad.

Cryptic is certainly one of the best climbs of its grade in the Monument. I'm still surprised that SW Corner is considered more of a classic.

Omat,
Check these guys out:
http://steel.ced.berkeley.edu/cris/kap/discuss/
Every question I had was answered here without me even asking. Seems these guys have tried everything at least once.
Being climbers we're ahead of the pack already just by having a working knowledge of knots, anchors, friction, etc.
NavBlk,
That's the kind of thing my pals and I used to dream about when we were kids.

Cool shots.
Thanks for pointing the camera on the actual camera used to photgraph... I weas thinking the pics were from a tiny helicopter or plane or something...
Very cool indeed!
More, more!
