I was recently on a trip with a bunch of climbers. Here is one of our breakfasts in a nutshell….or eggshell I guess. I liked this shot.

Freddie Wilkinson on Orange Juice, 5.12c at the Red River Gorge. Had a blast in the Red River Gorge. Now onto the next gorge in a neighboring state. We’re trying to take advantage of the amazing high pressure days as much as we can. And you know the saying- Suns Out, Guns Out!

Matt Hughes Everyone has their weaknesses and their strengths, whether they admit it or not. I’ll start with my one of my weaknesses- to continue to fire away when people take massive or sketchy whippers. I am constantly trying to override my ovarian instincts to help and support during these moments. Doh- darn ovaries! One…

Odub close to sending Golden Boy @ Solar Collector, 5.13b. I’m in the Ol’ KY. And my first day shooting here it reminded me of some ground zero basics. There are a lot of relationships with photography. Four simple ones that come to mind for climbing photography are these: the relationship with the climber, the…

E.T. phone home? This past week my fiance and I made the journey out to Guaymas, Mexico. This time I was not the photographer but a guest to enjoy, celebrate, and take in this special time for a friend uniting with the love of his life- Marcia. Marcia glows, inside and out. Along the way…

Well, as though things aren’t busy enough for a full time photographer, I make myself even busier with an event I love. In my spare time (haha, laugh now) I also help put together an Ice Climbing Festival here in North Conway. It is 3 days full of sponsors, demos, a climbing competition, slideshow, beer…

Matt McCormick has his systems down- slipping out of his sorels and into his fruit boots to start monkeying around. I was about to get out to shoot a bunch and my back went out on me. WHAT THE?!?! Talk about bad timing, as I was more psyched than a kid in a candy shop!…

Above: Peter Doucette climbing the classic- Way In The Wilderness WI5 I just had a bunch of my images published in the newest Alpinist 29 magazine. Alpinist is an “archival-quality, quarterly publication dedicated to world alpinism and adventure climbing.” This mag is something of it’s own, and if you haven’t taken the time to check…
