"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Amazing...Well written and, as always, excellent photos. What camera setup do you use?

Re: Amazing...Thank you very much Haliku!
On this trip I brought along a Canon Digital Rebel Xti (10 MP), with four lenses - a 10-22 wide angle, 80-300 telephoto, 50 macro, and a 17-85. I also really like the Joby Gorillapod tripod for climbing trips - lightweight and versatile.
Cheers,
Howie
