Great story, thanks for the post.

It seemed somewhat familiar, so I looked up an old link. This guy in Alberta did it in 2007 with a Nikon instead of a Canon (sorry), and got up to 22 miles high. Great shots, one included below. The link tells the story, a similar low-tech approach, but with no cooler.
