Cool pic!Hey, did you really feel the need for the rope up there? We are heading there in a few weeks and planning to climb solo (obviously with crampons)

Re: Cool pic!
Assuming the rope coil dangling from his hip is hanging free (debatable), I used it as a plumb line and rotated a few degrees to a more plausible angle. Still pretty steep.
On rock, it's amazing what a difference a 5 degree increase in slope will do the the difficulty. 35 degrees is class 3, but 45 degrees is perhaps 5.5.

Re: Cool pic!Morgan, you seem to be an expert at rotating digital photos!! :) What kind of software do you use? Sometimes after I've taken a photo, I realize the horizon isn't exactly parallel with the picture borders, but don't know how to adjust it given my (free) photo editor.

Re: Cool pic!Heh-heh, maybe I'm just a nitpicky prick. ;-)
On Linux, I use gimp. On Windows, I use Photoshop ELements LE (came bundled on Sony Vaio laptop). If you don't have either of these, I would guess that most freeware photo editors would have the option to enter a numeric rotation angle. But most image processing freeware continually amazes me with its level of suckiness...

Re: Cool pic!I'll have to see if I can find that Photoshop Elements (recently got a new laptop); I usually use Irfanview (I'm satisfied using it for most purposes), but haven't found any rotation capability, except for 90 deg at a time. Keep up the vigilance!:)
