This guy is one of my Flickr contacts. He writes the most amazing climbing blog I have seen and also snaps the most dazzling photos, almost every one a masterpiece.
I've used the London Underground a few times during peak hours, and while I actually would have to stoop over to fit in the crowded carriage, it never gets as bad as that.
Fight On, that reminds me of Mexico City. After we climbed the Big 3 (Popo, Ixta, and Orizaba) in Mexico, my friends flew home and I stayed for some sight seeing. My plane out was Christmas Eve evening and I was taking their rubber tired subway "trains" around the city. They were packing them in like sardines. On one, the pick of my ice axe got stuck on a ladies purse while I was trying to get out the door. They closed between the axe and the pack I was wearing and I thought for a second that I might be dragged along hanging out the door.

You mean those Green VW Buses that pass for Mass Transit?
