Biggest Cairn?

I recently sighted this amazing construction on a project down left of the Gallery. It's not the tallest I've ever seen but the vertical construction method is breathtaking. It's like comparing the pyramids to the Empire State.

I think the VCC was out there doing a bit of track work. With a sly glance at Cam's cairn, I can see Tracey smiling softly to herself and humming that song from Annie Get Your Gun.

I'm not saying that I don't hum that song regularly, but Cam is the cairn builder in the relationship and the guy needs to have something he can call his own:) That cairn however, doesn't look like Cam's work. Besides Sol, I get other people to haul rocks...

You've all been duped by Monty's photo trickery again. That's a pile of pebbles and a 7mm lens.

Here's a cairn for you. It's above Moraine Lake, on top the Tower of Babel in the Canadian Rockies:

The Cain on the track out to piddo has to take the cake.

I should point out that the cairn that I photographed was designed to be stood upon - ie a cheat stone. If it collapsed I imagine the belayer could get quite injured!
