Watch that first step! Step out onto a fragile flake 1400 feet up and start heading up. Super fun, aesthetic climb. I'm climbing, my friend G took the photo.

Reach, don't whine!! I could NOT get this stupid bolt. Darn it.

After rapping 240 feet, the first move is a doozy, and it doesn't let up. But ohhh, how peeeerrrrrty!

"Oh man, this picture is totally going to freak my family out!" Fargoan stands on Salathe Ledge with a 2500 foot perceived drop below. My thoughts?? Sunnyside Bench was supposed to have pools. Pools??? Pools? I don't see no stinkin' pools!

This photo was taken at the half way point hiking up to the very top of the falls.....

This is Dave sitting atop the Lost Arrow Spire Tip as I'm cleaning the last pitch. Photo taken by an unknown climber on the rim with my camera.

This is Dave and I, on top of the Lost Arrow Spire, preparing the tyrolean traverse.

This is Jeremy trying to make sese of the anchor SNAFU we encountered at the tip of the Spire. The only gear that is ours are the 8mm ropes

Klaus and I topped out on a POS route in July. I still don’t know what we decided to call it… This is Yosemite Point. Klaus tied-off the railing at the end of the last pitch and I jugged up on it – what a proud ‘natural’ belay anchor! Here is some of the junk that we had to carry down… Ug. Nice place to sort gear with a nice view. Sentinel Dome is on the left in the background.

This frame was shot in may of 2002.

My first visit to the valley since i was 8 yrs old.

I was not a climber at the time, but i was impressed by all the granite, and all the possibilities. Yosemite is such a beautiful and special place.

Shot on TCN-400 with a red-filter around noon. (hence the LARGE contrast)

Klaus and the infamous "Geek Tower." Back in the day, Bridwell chiseled the letters G E E K into the 'dunce cap' seen here with the mess of ancient slings wrapped around it. This is pitch 6 of "Hurricane Jingus CF2000" on the FA, June '97.

Me on top of theLA spire...wow ..only one other group on the route this day...July 4...awesome

Last year I tried to hike up the falls trail, but was dettered by the amount of snow. Hovever, I was able to snap this photo. Not a classic, but one of my better ones...

This shot was taken in the afternoon from the medow. June of 2001.
