Kinda curious as to what this bug is. I took this picture last summer while climbing a mountain NW of Calgary Alberta. Any ideas?

Looks like a seed bug of some sort to me (probably largidae species). This page might be of some help:

I never even noticed the long spiky thing coming outta his head until I looked at the pic. Sure looks like a mean tool, especially in macro.
