intermittent squirts of gasoline from a spary bottle may do in a pinch...

Holy cow! That's stupid.

How much better was the shot of the Grand Canyon from 6 feet closer? How bad a photographer are you if you can't take a decent shot of the canyon from the first outcropping?

And he's just wearing flip flops?!

I smell photoshop. the color of his jeans increases in intensity in the "stupid" pictures, also note the directness and color of the light in the first shot, sharp shadows on the rock to which he will jump, warmish light. Then hey presto! It's all different.

I think it's just a gag.

The first picture looks like it's just before the sun set, the second two just after. The second two look different because there's no sun.

But how handy is it that someone was there to take the photos, eh?

glatt · 08-28-2006, 01:58 PM

At the Grand Canyon during a sunset, there's always someone there to take photos. At least at every official scenic overlook anyway.

Any pics of baby Joe Dirt?

Shawnee123 · 08-28-2006, 03:56 PM

He looks like he's still out in the middle somewhere on the second rock. Are we to assume he jumped from rock to rock to rock?

As an old free climber, it does not seem to be that big-a' deal to me, other than the foot wear.

Shawnee123 · 08-28-2006, 04:54 PM

He rocks, dude!

So jumping from cliff to cliff with just one hand free while tucking your tripod and camera gear under the other arm is all normal?

I would not have had a tall tripod like that, I had a small one. Both my hands would have been free. Other than that, sure.

Outside of the footwear and arm, I'd agree with you.

But he was wearing flip-flops and jumping one-handed. That's pretty high on the stupidometer.

Free climbers are not known for our brains... some of my climbs were not very bright. I have been blessed-out more than once by park rangers.
