the base of the diamonds dunn/westbay route during morning alpinglow as seen from our portaledge rigged just above broadway.

climbing pitch 6, fun pitch, excellent exposure all the way down the east face.

my partner heading off on pitch 8. watch out for runnoff on this pitch! the crack is a north face drainage, get to the belay before the sun leaves the wall! the belay is crap, one new bolt, two old pins, a 1/4 death bolt and a semi new missing the hanger.

July 5, 2008...some snow on the Broadway ledge, but this "crux" move was easy

This is me leading pitch 1 of Alexanders chimney in the spring of 06’. The right facing corner above me is actually slightly overhanging and turned out to be the crux.

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.

Tim finishing the first or second pitch of D7. Broadway, the Fields Chimney, and Mills Glacier are seen below.

Suz and I headed up the Long's Peak Trail to do some winter backpacking.

This is myself in RMNP last summer. Took a week long road trip with a buddy and eneded up driving through RMNP on our way to Spear Head

Lugging the loads to the base of Longs in late November. Party ended late the next day after a mega-whipper and some rockfall that found it's target... us.

Dan traversing across broadway on our first attempt to climb Long's Peak in the winter.

Late season, probably mid December, we found alot of ice on this bit. Did it this year (05) in November and it's usually a lot leaner. I like leading when it's skinny cause there's not much ice left sometimes for the follower. Brian took this shot as I procrastinated.

November on the Diamond. The Smear of Fear is far from touching down, but it very rarely does. An awesome place to be but a tad chilly.
