Beautiful shot that really captures the "pucker factor" of the descent.

Great shot

I guess a rope would have been more or less useless there.

	Voted 10/10	If you're looking north to the massive summits of Huascaran then the Pacific Ocean would be to your left, to the west. A forgiveable oversight, as hypoxia sets in at the impressive altitude you earned the old fashioned way. Impressive work, stunning foto. Alibedes all around.

	Hasn't voted	Actually Huascaran Norte is straight West of Chopi and the ocean is visible over its shoulder. You can see this on Google Earth quite clearly. I dont know if that is exactly what you see in this photo. It may be a layer of stratus clouds over the ocean but earlier in the morning we could almost certainly see the Pacific!
