We're Really Up Here

In the spring of 2007, I quit my desk job and set out on a climbing road trip. This is everything that happened after that.

So long Yosemite, and thanks for all the granite.

Another incredible visit to the Valley. I probably crushed more King Cobras than hard pitches, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Met some new friends, hung out with a lot of old ones, and basically had a blast.

I have a renewed passion for this place, and can't wait to return stronger in the fall.

Till then, it's back to SLC for a few days, then out to Philmont on Monday for Phase II of this adventure...

Here's a night time exposure of El Cap. Headlamps and stars...

    That's a great capture of the rock at night. Never would have thought of it that way.

    Good luck on this next phase of your trip.

    Hey, slept in a chimney. Well, when Big Wall is tacked on the front your name what are you going to do?

    What chimney did you sleep in? Sounds desperate.
