Scary! Good shot though... I would have taken it from a position a little more to the left though...

Thanks for the share

Kind regards

A little more to the left and I could of gotten great shots of the rescue chopper recovering my shattered corpse Was on a trail and left was down, a fairly big step down. Not sure how hight they were, but was pretty hard to see them without the long lens.

Queasy looking at it. Ed.

Nice capture Craig. There are times when choices are limited and safety becomes a priority. I like to see the severity of the climb, but once again, not always possible to get the right angle for safety reasons.

I was inferring to the equally shattered corpse that would have been, were the big guy up top to have suddenly been subjected to unrestrained gravitational forces... and at the SRV... I guess you would fall into the "Intrepid Photographer" category then...
