The day after the Stevens pass avalanche, Rebecca Selig and I created this tribute photo to Jim Jack and the rest of the fine folks whom have lost their lives in avalanches this season. We hope you continue to soar. If you can spare some change, consider a donation to Jim Jack's memory. It's been a grim couple of years. Let's try to avoid becoming the no 7 of the season in Colorado or wherever you might be making turns.

Patagonia Ad
Patagonia ad in the current issue of Trail Runner Magazine. This was off-the-wall place in eastern Utah on an evening run where the light almost went crazy, but it turned out pretty good still. Thanks to Krissy for making in happen and the ladies at the Patagonia photo dept for selecting the shot. Psyched.

Climbing Mag - Black Canyon
Check out the current issue of Climbing Magazine - photo of Mr Joe Mills on the table of contents page during his send of Hallucingen Wall (5.13- R, 16 pitches, 2nd free ascent) in the Black Canyon. Joe recieved a well-deserved runner up in Climbing Magazines Golden Piton awards. Here are a few more photos from that climb to add some more color
Early Morning light warming up the cold canyon - on my way rapping in to shoot Joe and Dave Vuono's attempt to free the Hallucinogen wall.
Joe and Dave stoked to have climbed through the shady, cold and run-out lower pitches and into the sun.
Joe keeping it together and working his way up a shallow and flaring seam - with scary, manky old bashies as pro...
After the cactus traverse, sinking the only jams of the whole route, in on of the very few moderate sections of climbing - just before one the crux 5.13 pitches leading up the bivy under the huge roof.
Dave and Joe on the bivy waiting for sunshine and warmth - taking in the incredible canyon and the roar of the gunnison below. Also got to spectate a party getting forced into an unplanned bivy on a route on the south wall - just across the canyon, but still so far away...
Relief; topping out after the loose final pitches.
Taking in the beauty of the north rim of the canyon before heading home. Nice work Joe and Dave - thanks to Climbing Mag for running one of the images (hopefully more of the A-roll images will trickle out), and thanks to Ibex for supporting Joe.

Monashee Pow!
Jake getting in deep in the Monashees.
OOHHH, Sean digging. Yeah, it was good. First day actually doing a full tour with the strobe rig. WTF was I thinking... but, the images are fun. Hopefully they will show in print soon. Thanks Sean and Jake for an awesome last day in BC before heading south to the OR show.
