Man, those are some awsome photos. Where's that big mountain in the first pic. Looks like something from Baffin or Greenland.

That would be the 'Lotus Flower Tower' in the Cirque of the Unclimbables in the Northwest Territories if I'm not mistaken.

Grade V. 5.10c (22 pitches) One of the most famous of the 'Fifty Classic Climbs of North America'


makes one horny doesn't it? *sigh*. I can't wait to get there one day.

Sorcerer?!?! you crazy silly sally. If your looking for other clasics to do i'd recommend Kitty Hawk. It gets my vote for 'jawdropping' effect when you drive by it. Aesthetic is one word for it.Short approach is another one.

I would like to but need a better camera. Im having a hard time finding a good digital camera thats a small enough to carry around my neck durring climbing. I would like to find something thats shoots in raw format. 200mm equiv or better. and at least an iso of 800 with good lenses in a very small package. I've been looking at sites like dpreview but have not found the "one" yet.

Thanks for your comment on the pics.

I would die instantly from the exposure. I almost puked over the railing in Verdon. LOL

Very impressive man. Nice photos. Did you finish the nose?

Yeah we finished the nose but could not take pictures of the last 4 pitches since we finished them in the dark. the top is so steep that if you jumped you would not touch the wall until you hit the ground.

what a spoiled rotten, lucky duck guy.

Your wife must be the most understanding, incredible, beautiful, talented, forgiving, multi-tasking, super-mom EVER in the world.

She also better be getting some new Crampons for Christmas and LOTS of ice climbing this winter. Not to mention whatever else she wants in any capacity for the next year!
