Wow, that's amazing. I don't have a fear of heights, but you'd never get me out there

Just how "fleet of foot" did you have to be to get out there? Tell me you had a remote for the camera and were not racing against a timer!

1ajs: That urban decay shot is awesome!

No remote and no timer.... I setup the shot and there was some random hiker up there I had them hit the shoot button... But if they weren't up there I was about to use the timer. It only took be about 1min to get out to the ridge. It was 3ft wide at one point but majority 5-8ft.

Here is another good shot of my friend that shows a bit worse exposure.

5-8 feet I could do, but I would be very slow going on the 3 foot section!

Is this peak near Windtower? I've done that scramble before.

Yep, that it is. I took almost that exact same panorama 2 years ago, not long before I moved to China.

Can't pick one, but I can narrow it down.

London


Paris


Edinburgh


And there was one more from NYC, but I took it with an old piece of s...er, point and shoot, and it's not on flickr.
