The next shot, from a different camera, shows the same pass: you can see him and his shadow. He wasn't more than 20 feet above that snow slope. I wonder what colour his underwear was after he landed. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

I guess he looks really brave and smart to some people -- right up to when he augers in. Then that 20-20 hindsight that some people have so much of kicks in, and then they'll think, "Hey, maybe that wasn't so bright after all". Unless, of course, he _doesn't_ auger in. But then, everyone does, eventually, operating at the bleeding edge. Going beyond the expectations of we middle-of-the-roaders is essential for progress. I suppose you could say that 20-20 hindsight comes from having your head up your ass, but then you wouldn't be the first. Jack
