Washington Monument engineers, rappelling way up high

Dan Ruff shot this wonderful photograph of structural engineers rappelling down the face of the Washington Monument to inspect possible earthquake damage. More shots here. Shared in the Boing Boing Flickr Pool. Maggie wrote about this the other day, but it's neat to see a Boing Boing reader out on the scene taking photos!
