Just a shot that my buddy Miguel took of me leading one of Buttermilk's lower pitches. I'm pretty sure this was the last ascent of the season(3-26) as the climb was gone within a few days of our ascent. This was actually the only day that I was lucky enough to climb the final pitch of the route. The pitches were mostly 4- to 4 conditions. It was dripping on us and often fairly sun-bleached. The section shown here was unusually incredible ice for the day.
The photo was cropped to remove the date from his camera.

This is a shot me on one of Buttermilk's many pitches. I think it's the base of the crux. The photo was, obviously, slightly retouched for color enhancement.

This what my face looked like about 8 or so hours after I cracked it with my adze. We were climbing a 4 pitch route route called The Needle in Southern NY State. I'm pretty sure it's not legal, so I'm holding back specifics. I was just starting to follow the second pitch up a vertical, thin curtain. I was maybe ten feet up when my left axe ripped. The next thing I remember, I was hanging at the bottom and my crampons were just touching the ledge. Apparently, the adze deflected off of my sunglasses (leaving a scratch right down the middle) and ripping my cheek open. Lucky I didn't pierce my eye! I decided to keep climbing and I cleaned it out myself later that night (just after I took the picture). It's amazing how well butterfly stitches work!!!
