Dano ... was hanging around waiting and got bored so decided he might as well flag.

You could say he had a Bandaloop moment.

Both are great climbers. DanO's photo looks better of course, but I do not think of Kevin as anything but top level of climbing.

Really good form on Osman's flag. Legs together. Toes pointed. My daughter's gymnastics coach would approve.

christ, why compare??? you guys seem a little petty.

get real, climbing is a pointless self indulgent past time.

love it, but have some perspective.

DanO by far.....

Dan drops, Dan Dies or is brutally injured, perfect form as well, off a crack

Jorgeson, spotter, falls maybe breaks something peripheral, poor form, off a jug

I look at Dano on his pole often as the photo hangs on my office wall. He inspires me to greater feats of mediocrity. Both climbers are obviously awesome, but Dano's is the better, bolder flag. I've climbed Thin Ice to the left a couple of times, so I'm almost as cool, right?

Thanks Warbler!

Now is that cool or what? Only on the taco can you hear the story straight from the "horses mouth" (sorry, don't know a thing about your mouth:-).

Thanks for telling that, Warbler. What became of the rest of the photos from that day? Any place online we can see them?

Cheers for capturing one of THE all-time climbing images. Right up there for me with the unforgettable images:

LH on The Nose,
PC on The Rostrum,
JB on Nabisco, and again on Outer Limits p2,
WG on Separate Reality,
The Bird's 4 rurp belay,
Largo pressing the mantle with cig,
WH topping out the Nose,
RR and CP NA Wall bivy...

Some of the iconic images of climbing. This shot of Osman is right up there.
