Looking down wonderful Queen Victoria Spire on another beautiful day.

Patrick, the local hard man, cruising up P1 of QVS while showing me around the oh-so-crumbly rock of Sedona.

East face of Mt. Mandeville standing proud after Katrina.

Dave leading up the Pelican Spire on another beautiful day.

PR starting the 4th pitch on Valdez, Alaska's Bridalveil Falls. We're above the killer pillar and ready to simul to the top.

A roadside view enroute from Venice to Cortina.

Reinhold Messner's Castle sits atop the rocky summit on the right. No doubt he earned every cent of his fortune the hard way.

A party ahead of us on the 1st pitch of the Beckey Route.

Welcome to Squamish. Now go climb your brains out for the next couple lifetimes.

What remains of the crashed Air Force Bomber. Not much after years of scavenging. I found an old survival kit on top of a nearby peak.

F-bouldering. Hatcher was made for skiing. Tele-ing down Marmot peak on a typical winter day.

Snowbird Hut. Home of great moonlight ski runs and the closest aid wall to Anchorage. Leroy The Wonder Dog in foreground.

Harvard Glacier below, Dora Keen Icewall behind, Bozo the climbing clown in front.

Standing on Norway Peak with Denmark behind me.

The West side of Gannet Peak just past midnight. That north face would make a great route.

Well this playful SOB just wanted to spend the afternoon sniffing around our cabin.

Here's one of 20+ random peak in the Turtle Flats area.

You can be at the col only 90 minutes from downtown if you hustle. Taken 3 days after skiing it - mid-June.

Mint Hut in mid-summer. Home sweet home for many nights and stormy days. In winter snow often buries completely. A shovel is secured to the roof peak for access.

Dave hanging at the bolts atop Chico Spire.

A good look at the Virgin Wall's rock and shrubbery.

Dave and Paul atop Pioneer Peak. Photo taken from true summit looking East. Stumble snow-side and it's 6,000' down to the car.

Mt. Doonerak in mid-July. Several interesting routes way north of the Arctic Circle.

One of many wolf tracks seen along the trail. I can palm a basketball - wonder if he can?
