Obviously Capitol\'s world...
Obviously Capitol's world famous knife's edge, with the Pierre Lakes on the left and Snowmass peak on the upper left horizon, and the Maroon Bells waaaay over on the left edge. I'm in the brown pants, perched. Photo by Dan Bayer, Aspen Times.

This wacked out distorted picture makes the knife edge look 1000 times harder than it is. If you're expecting this, you'll laugh your ass off when you see the real knife edge.

the picture is from a fish-eye lense. The knife's edge is still difficult enough.
