Cranking the beyond steep stuff next to the Freedom Bar at Ton Sai Thailand just as the sun is getting ready to set. I lost this Canadian climber's name. Email me if you have name or contact info for him so I can get him some pics.

I've been trying to encourage folks to visit Thailand so I thought I'd post a shot or two. Read my appeal to Visit including links and pictures Also Read my 1998 Trip Report

I thought it would be nice to post an overview of Railay West in Thailand as I am encouraging folks to visit Thailand this season if possible to help the local economy which suffers after the recent Tsunami. Read my appeal to Visit including links and pictures

My Friend Lummox finishing on Crest Jewel on the Second Ascent of Crest Jewel Direct. See more Yosemite Panoramas Here The beautiful clouds also made the ascent more exciting. Fortunately, it never did rain. Happy New Year RC.com!

This Valley View is one of my signature shots. To get the whole valley and reflection is very technical because, even with a 28 mm lens, I have to stitch 3 or 4 shots together to encompass it all. See more Valley Landscape Shots in my Yosemite Landscape Gallery

Stormy Weather can be beautiful, particularly in you're taking pictures and not rockclimbing. Here is the buttress of Tenaya Peak, a route that has become popular recently but used to be totally obscure. Check out other images in my High Country Gallery.

Pilgrim walk over 10 miles, sometimes barefoot in the snow, to get to the temple of Kedarnath, situated at the base of fantastic Himalayan Peaks. Check out my Gallery of Images from India.

The Cathedral Rocks and Cathedral Spires in Autumn of 2004. Lot of good climbing there but a little too shady for this time of year. Check out other images in my Autumn Gallery.

The Big Stone Reflected in the Merced River in Fall of 2004. See more El Cap shots in my El Cap Gallery

Lenticular Cloud over Machupuchare from 1986. This is a higher res version of one I submitted a long time ago. Borrowed a 4000 dpi scanner and went wild. See more Photos from my Nepal/Ladakh Gallery.

Cathedral Peak is, for many, the heart of Yosemite. Here it is reflected in Upper Cathedral Lake. Check out more Cathedral Images in my High Country Gallery

April of 2004 had ripping wildflowers. There was an orgy of plant genitalia exposed. Here's Echo Rock with flowers

April of 2004 had ripping wildflowers. There was an orgy of plant genitalia exposed. This is a panorama of three vertical shots spliced together. I submitted another shot from further South earlier but thought maybe this one was nicer

On my way back from getting snowed on hard during a Christmas Nepal Trek in 1986, I was treated to some beautiful clouds and sunsets. This one's over Annapurna (10th highest Mountain and Hindu goddess of Food)

Susan and I took a roadtrip down the coast and thought we'd check this place out. Fun! Whales swam by, and there were babes on the beach. and speaking of babes, I'm not allowing comments on this one! Peace karl

In late May of 1986 I did a trip to the temple of Kedarnath. There was a bit of unexpected snow. The pilgrims heading to the temple walked over 10 miles up to it. Some Barefoot!

Maybe if I post a lot of pictures of EL Cap, it will be kind to me when I head back up there. It's a beautiful piece of stone that looks different from many different angles.
