The same instant in time from 2 different perspectives. Tom and I both hit the button at the exact same second.

Synchronicity is a beautiful thing, we wouldn't exist with out it.

Synchronicity indeed. Isn't there some quantum physics law about reality being defined by multiple perspectives observing the same event?

How bad am I for thinking it's not the same instant?
It looks like two different swings at different heights to me.

Surely some other climbers have similar shots from Tom's and their own perspectives,no?

Note the height of the shadow relative to the large white area.

The loop of rope also appears different, although you'd have to run the angles to be sure. But who cares?

You are a bad man Scuff (you too, klk) as with sasquatch, Mallory & Irvine, and the inherent decency of the human soul, I want to believe!


Look at it in a horseshoes and hand grenades sort of paradigm of synchronicity...

So many naysayers. I was there (duhh). He did the penji ONCE. Look at his right leg.

alpine-- yes, that's believable. my guess is that we could map the angles and demonstrate it mathematically. one photo take from slightly above; the other from well below, so the difference in perspective reworks the apparent angles of the objects in the photo.


pretty cool . . .
