A warm day in Ouray. Having never been down there, I was blown away by the amount and quality of ice. What a riot.

Just a random shot from what I believe is the belay after the 4th pitch on Middle Cathedral. Great view of El Cap from here.

A great view of El Cap from high on Middle Cathedral

Sentinel Rock looks like such a great wall, especially from the banks of the river.

Silhouette of an unknown Climber Low on the Nose. Guy's gotta lot of climbing above him yet to go!

Liebacking up Curving Crack just before getting spit out of the crack. This thing kicked my a$$

The rack weighed almost as much as she did. My daughter getting ready for her first multi-pitch climb!

At the belay above pitch 1 on Calypso. I don't know which of us was more excited

The exposure wasn't bothering her at all. She just cruised up, smiling all the way.

I've always hated rappelling, but watching Katie spider rappelling down a chossy wall was ten times worse than doing it myself!

Note the guy soloing halfway up the photo.
