North Face of Hallett Peak from Dream Lake at sunrise.

Took this shot on Sunday, August 1, 2004. The weather was very clear and sunny that day and at least three parties were climbing on Hallett peak.

Hallets is on the left, Flattop is on the right. Andy Johnson and I simul-soloed a route on the S. Face of Flattop (on the right) this day.

Looking toward Dragontooth and Dragontail Couloirs during a May 2002 storm. It was an originally a color shot but I neglected to check to the scanner’s setting & it was scanned as a B&W photo; I like the B&W version better. Photo by Paul Chambers

My partner and I hiked up to Emerald Lake, looked at our watches and turned around under this beautiful blue sky. Our late start was out of both of our comfort zones. It's so hard to turn around when the conditions look this perfect and when the mountain beckons you. Our good judgement paid off as a huge storm rolled in around 3 hours later. Our route, Culp Bossier is located on the 2d buttress.
