Here is a shot of yours truly sweatin bullets shooting the video shot from the lip.  This nice perch required rapping off a 20 foot cliff to the sloping ledge with 3-4 feet of snow on it… Pretty exhilerating.  Almost as good as running it in a kayak.

I was asked to shoot video at the lip of this monster for Gearbox HD, and it seemed like a paperazzi event with Nate and Heather Herbeck on the scout/beta and filming mission, Richard Hallman on stills with Jed Weingarten, and Charley Munsey hanging off the cliff in different areas, Ryan Scott was there shooting, and Ben Stokesberry and crew showed up just at the right time.

This is a shot from the bottom of Ben Stokesberry.  I snuck down there after I got the shot from the edge.  I had to rappel down to the lip.

It was a snowy day, but this shot of LJ Groth really adds perspective for the enormity off the place.  Way to go boys.  Can you believe this is only 1.5 hours from Portland.  My hometown never ceases to amaze me.
