That's a lot better than the $4 million one I saw on another post.
that is the funniest thing that you would say that and I would know what you are talking about and have to agree!
that pic starting way down at the slats is magnificent. Im not sure I would have been able to get back up.

A natural appeture through a slit on a frame or between your fingers?

I would never climb on those cables. I hope they paid you very well.

No way, I don't care how much money I got paid. Hey, can you maybe post those photos? I'd love to see them. Cheryl

Lacsar, I wasn't paid as I was good friends with the fellow who ran the Royal Bridge business and happened to live right up there next to the bridge. He needed the photos for a issue he was trying to address and asked if I would take them for him. It was a bit scary.....

Dunatic, SORRY! the film (wasn't digital back then) was handed off to a friend of mine whjo was the site manager for the Royal Gorge Bridge. He needed the photos for an engineering issue he was addressing and I never saw the film or the shots again so there is no possibility of posting the results of the cold climb! I still remember how cold it was hanging up there and trying to take excellent shots of those cable saddles with fingers that did not want to work correctly.....

WOW, if that isn't true friendship I don't know what is.
Great pics Lascar!

I did notice how the individual strands were put together when I was there. They used the old Western Union splice. Just twisting the wires together, but very effective.

Is the "No fishing off the bridge" sign still there?

You know, I do remember seeing that sign, but I took those photo's about 10 years ago. I have more pics of just about everything above the floor of the bridge, I just gotta find them.
