Uncanny Picture Coincidence
Okay, so it's not exactly a r.b.tech question. At www.clifbar.com
there is an ad for a book written by Gary Erickson, founder of Clif bar. There is a picture which must be Erickson climbing the Gavia Pass: http://www.clifbar.com/images/top0804_r2_c2.jpg Compare to the picture of Jobst on the Gavia at http://www-math.science.unitn.it/Bik..._Alps/Gallery/ large image: http://www-math.science.unitn.it/Bik...via.4.Best.jpg It's exactly the same spot. In fact, judging by the shadow of the guardrail, it must be the same time of day. Were they riding together? Were Clif bars influenced by Jobst's preferred Snickers bars? Maybe "60 Minutes" can get to the bottom of this. Ben Next, an analysis of the Zapruder film |

Ben Next, an analysis of the Zapruder film Dear Ben, It might be that most people starting up the pass wind up at that spot at about the same time of day. And it could be that the corner is a well-known and extremely picturesque spot that attracts riders with cameras in droves, like posters swarming to chain lube threads. But it would wise to ask whether anyone has ever seen Jobst and Erickson together. Jimmy Olsen |
