Here's Andrew (aka Tweek) and his shiny rack, chalking up during some lead on the Atlantis Wall.

Its been a year since we went but I still can't stop looking at these pictures. What a beautiful place. Andrew (Tweek) just went back to Chile but we won't get to explore SA this year...we're going to New Zealand instead! Whoo hoo.

This is the wound I sustained from my chalk bag carabineer when I slipped rappelling on the 4th class exit of After 6. Still not sure how or why the biner opened and then lodged itself in my right butt cheek.

Fall in Southern Chile makes for great photos. This is a section of the "W" backpacking route that circumnavigates the Cuernos seen here. This section is a boggy pass that now has a series of these cute trussels.

Here I stand looking out at Grey Lake and Grey Glacier. That day consisted of a 18 mile hike through the mountains of Patagonia, but the views and our campsite (right on the water) were worth every painful step. The photographer was my partner Andrew.

Taken our first day in Torres del Paine, Patagonia, the moon decided to rise right between the Cuernos making for an amazing view.
