Thanks

Thanks to everyone who came out to the desert this November. I sorted through my pictures and came up with a good selection from the last two weeks. This is just a fraction of the photography that I took out there so if you want a raw CD with all of the photos or prints of something specific please send me a request and a donation to cover the cost. Sorry if I didn't get "the shot" of your lead or whip, I was busy belaying or trying to put up as much as I could. Thanks to Wilderman, Erin, Phil, Jordan, Sam, Talyn, Levi, Dean, Allen and Erik.

For CD's or prints please send a donation and mailing address to:

Long Canyon

Although Jordan and I couldn't get all the way back to the Maverick due to a large wash out in the road, we side tripped up to the Shipwreck Wall. A long hike led us up to several laser cracks that I in general wasn't up to leading. Fortunately Jordan took the sharp end of the rope.

Ancient Art

One of the true desert classics is the Ancient Art formation located in the Fisher Towers. It consists of four pitches taking the climber up the back side of a knife blade formation that culminates in the corkscrew finish. A pitch of mantel moves up to the top of the tower.
