Gasp! This photo makes my heart flutter. First with the awe inspiring scene -- then by the X-treeeeeeeme-ness of it! WOW! Being somewhat of a hiker, mostly in the Colorado Rockies, I can not TELL you what respect I have for you for being able to do something like this -- and take a PICTURE while you are doing it. You are my hero!

Alexandre Buisse  Heh, thanks, I'm honored. It is quite challenging to bring a camera up there and to operate it while climbing, but well worth the effort in my opinion.
I would also really like to go climb in the Rockies, some of the mountains are supposed to be really good!

That's higher than I have ever been. Look like it too. Well done!
Alexandre Buisse  It was also higher than I had ever been at the time... Now the race with myself is on, and won't be over before I summit this Everest hill.
