While at the summit, looking down at the bubble in his camera Carey correctly noted that the shots on the summit of Yushan could have been made on a gravel pile in Taipei with some fancy editing and computer effects. Later, though, he conceded that the chance to climb to the summit was, in retrospect, well worth the effort -- as long as the camera could be repaired.
"This mountain really just blows me away," he said.
This is true, no matter what happens at the summit -- and most people make it home just fine.
