Google Earth Is Amazing

Having read an article about it yesterday I noodled around with the google earth program. It is amazing! As a quick suggestion, type in Mount Colden, NY, or Gothics NY and see the views of the Trap Dike and North Face. Or, type in Matterhorn, Switzerland or maybe Mount Tacul, France and see the amazing views of the climbing routes you can conjure up. I then dumped a screen capture into 'Brushes' and annotated it to help get Dave psyched to climb the Matterhorn after we ski the Haute Route. (as always, you can enlarge this screen capture from google earth by clicking on the image.)
