Que es mas macho? Crazy Horse or The Old Man of the Mountain?





The old man of the mountain was 40.5 feet tall, by 25 feet across - approximately.

The Old Man is formed on a shoulder of Profile Mountain, which juts out abruptly into space, some 1200 feet above Profile Lake. It is composed of five layers of granite ledge, one exactly above the other, the lateral distance being 25 feet. Of these five layers one forms the chin, another the upper lip, a third the nose and two layers make up the forehead. The Old Man has been measured as being forty feet and five inches in height.


Crazy Horse's head is 87.5 feet high.

When completed the Crazy Horse mountain carving will be 641 feet long by 563 feet high. Crazy Horse's completed head is 87 feet 6 inches high. The horse's head, currently the focus of work on the mountain, is 219 feet or 22 stories high.


The Old Man of the Mountain is no more. Crazy Horse is just getting started.


Que es mas Macho? Definitely Crazy Horse...
