El Bigote
El Bigote

This is El Bigote (the mustache).  Also known as Greg, El Bigote is a ice and rock climbing instructor for NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) in the States.  He is my new hero for two reasons: 

1) Adam and I were experimenting with facial hair all through this trip, and we had never been able to pull off something of this magnitude with such adeptness.

I realize that with his shirt off and all it looks like Greg should be wearing a set of crotchless leather chaps in this picture.  The reason for the shirtless shot is that since an insensitive Latin woman referred to his mustache as bigote horible, Greg was threatening to shave it off, so I had to capture it beforehand.  Really, that is why I am taking pictures of some random guy in a towel.  Really.

For another El Bigote hero story, see the next pic.
