My climbing partner Merran Fahlman on the first (crux) chimney pitch of Epinephrine in Red Rocks. Stellar route!

My climbing partner Merran Fahlman atop WHiskey Peak, Nevada, Christmas Day 2004. We climbed Epinephrine. Amazing route; incredible Christmas. This is my salute to Galen Rowell.

this is a shot of my great friend Boyle... seconding in the belly of a fantastic climb in red rocks...

It's the morning of January, 01, 2000. And Simon is rappelling off the last few pitches of Epinephrine while the infamous chimney pitches loom above him.

Getting ready to have my ass kicked...

This is me following the chimneys. Despite my feet slipping many times I was apparently more secure in them than I thought - I never did fall. Still, with all the runout, I imagine slips like that can really rattle one on lead.

This is me on the summit of Epinephrine. The look on my face is one of 'Its good to be done - nice view up here - now lets go get some dinner'. It turned out that we still had a fairly involved (by my standards) descent to do - my dinner was still a ways off.

This is my partner, Lukasz, on the summit of Epinephrine - with much of the Red Rocks scenic loop and Vegas in the background. He is squinting because the setting sun is right in his face.

Lukasz did a really great job leading the chimney pitches. In some places there was some serious runout. One spot there was alot of blood someone lost from a bad fall.

Arrogant_Bastard and I were climbing Epinephrine and I was like "look! goatz" and he got all butthurt because he thought I wasn't belaying him in the chimney. So I said "don't get butthurt - get buttered up and climb". But he was too butthurt.
