    Gary,
    I like that first shot, it does a nice job of showing the height and difficulty of the climb and how comparitivly small the human is. (Oh, but there's a line across the top right corner.)

    Fun and DIRTY!! Like spelunking. (Ie caving)

    Attached a nice picture of myself and some friends after a nice expedition in "Horse Head" in the middle of some cow field in southern Virginia, we'd already gone swimming in the river to "clean" up a bit. Amanda and Dave (in front) show off how dirty you can get.

    I saw this and had to laugh. I spent 12 years spelunking in West virginia, virginia and Kentucky - and the 'middle of some cow field' is so true. Either that or on the side of a mountain - OK, you're on a 40 degree incline looking for a 3 foot opening in the ground - spent a LOT of hours searching hopelessly for openings like that headscratch.gif
