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

Proof positive that new routes of most any grade are still possible in the Flatirons.

Tim cruising up the first pitch of the easy (5.6) southwest face route; the clear sky didn't last for long.

J.P. gets a spot from Kelly. January 2004.

Ben heads up the left angling 2nd pitch on the Wedge's Mutt and Jeff. This classic (yeah, I know, the term is getting out of hand) route was featured in a 1996 issue of Climbing. Defintely check out the Humbugs if you're ever in SW Montana, they're just off I-15.

Tim watches a storm roll in over Lone Mountain from the summit of the Beehive. A few minutes later, having just begun the descent, I had my scariest encounter ever with lightning. August 1998.

Ben and Boulos doing Your Mother high on the Bastille. January 2004.

Chris K. approaching ice at the head of Truman Gulch. It was a little lean at the bottom. February 1999.

Tim Barton taking a break on the skinny ridge west of the Maiden. The first half of the Standard North Face route consists of mostly downclimbing and traversing. June 2004.
