HURRICANE RIDGE
Lenny's got the camera now, taking a picture of his own boots, Spearmint climbing line, and 65' orange lanyard. The scale of everything gets blown way up when working in the big stuff. How many folks use a 65' flipline?
This shot was taken about halfway up the tree. Tom looks suspicious on his 200' Gold Streak, and Ox is giddy in his Bishco.com t-shirt, running the orange Hi-Vee line. These multi-colored lines kept themselves sorted out like a dream. We had no trouble whatsoever with confusion over what was what.
Notice the extensive moss and lichens covering every surface completely, even deadwood. This is a characteristic of the rainforest. There is so much moisture here that things grow great.
