you know they refer to the NYTimes as "The Gray Lady"

you're lucky the pix were in color...
and climbing is oddly 2-D though the surface is tipped up... when you get up far enough, it's like you're crawling, though gravity is parallel to the surface rather than perpendicular.

But the point is well take, a photog should be able to capture this most obvious experience (to a climber) and tell a story (to the public) with it...

That traverse looked scary. Long run out with a bad sideways fall potential.

Yikes !!!

Tommy is such a bad ass .....

Yeah I got the live feed going on the internet Ed.

Watching the paint dry :-)

Anyways without the pro for the second on that traverse it looks soooo scary.

I'd run away and hide .....
