posted before, but still a good buildering photo, I suppose
Honestly, my favorite buildering problem was in the Circus Circus parking garage, a dead jump to a wide hand jam in the ceiling. Bloodied my hands up on it a bunch.

MisterE, Not that many of us live in the weeds...
Some do, but we still go to town every so often to restock our larder.
What, you never eyeballed a man-made structure?

OK, this time I let it drift 4-5 pages back before declaring:
*Alpine
*Loomis
*Peter Hahn
*Scott Nelson
Email me an address guys. I have to go to a certain shop to get your stickers, but they'll get there.
So many cool pictures, everyone on Supertopo is a winner for getting to look at each others shots.
Thanks to everyone for playing the game!!

jay jay: great sculpture - what vision.
noshoesnoshirt: My kind of climbing, I suspect jaybro got excited about that one as well. Have to check that one out myself - good eyes!
Ammon - Adam Grosowsky kicked off much of the current wave of slacklining in '75 when, as a 16yo in the SIU library, he stumbled upon a picture of a c1890s circus act where one guy was doing a onehand handstand on a flagpole top just like that one, with one hand on the ball and the other holding the end of a wire. The other end of the wire went down at an angle to a brick wall where it was attached and the guy in the handstand was tensioning the wire by hanging his body off the opposite of the pole top from where the wire was fastened. The kicker - there was another guy doing a handstand in the middle of the wire. Don't ask me how - it still seems utterly impossible and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Adam tried [and failed, fortunately] to get us all to recreate the feat.
MH2 - don't forget the obligatory c1923 Harold Lloyd, where do you think Kong got his inspiration?

Okay, well, and I thought it was Fay Wray.
