This is me on top of Longs Peak... I didnt climb, just did the hike up. The photo was taken by my sister Megan. Im not really afraid of heights... but I sure had some vertigo going on up there.

Sometimes all you can do is climb on bridge pillars... so we make them as fun as we can.

Megan on a 5.8 in wild iowa, nice little climb, cause hey, we are in Iowa, and take what we can...

Ah the peace of being the lead and getting the whole second pitch ledge to yourself...

Getting a view of slicksides from more of a climbers stand points... wouldnt be nearly as hard if the walls wernt as smooth as glass...

5.10a Cosmos, excellent climb. Plus there not many better feelings than climbing above water. Watch out for the wasps though...

This is me (Brian) on an attempt of Slicksides, at Taylors Falls, 5.9+. Very well named, for this climb had absolotely no room for smearing. Fun route though, could be bouldered with a mat.

This is me (Brian) during my second attemp at summiting Longs Peak. We arrived at the Boulderfield just as the sun was coming up, a much better day than the ice we had experienced 2 days earlier. Taken by Megan Eagen.
