It was a good day of climbing up on the Tram untill the afternoon storms hit. Luckily the large one missed us and hit the Tetons. The route "High Boltage" traverses from the belay ledge past the offwidth and onto the arete. Extremely exposed and fun climbing!

Amazing sunsets were common almost every night and amazing sunrises every moring in Torres del Paine. I took this shot from the porch of Refugio Chileno in Parque Nacional Torres Del Paine, Patagonia, Chile.

The largest granite walls located in Valle del Silencio behind the towers of Paine. Cerro Escudo is the giant on the right, Fortaleza on the left, and you can just see El Tridente on the right edge of the photo. Many long routes (Grade VI and VII) go up all of the peaks.

Los Cuernos as seen from the trail between Refugio Cuernos and Refugio Chileno. I have decided it is very difficult to be unhappy with a different big wall every direction I looked. Check out www.wyoprints.com for a trip report. (it is not up yet but will be very soon)

The Shark's Fin as seen from just above Campomento Brittanico. The route goes up for 11 pitches on the backside of the arete. It starts at the terminus of the scree field and beelines straight to the top.

A view of Cuerno Norte from just above Campomento Brittanico. The aid route Caveman heads directly up the nose with the huecos in the middle of the formation.

Every morning waking up and going to breakfast in Refugio Cuernos was a blessing as I got to sit, drink coffee and watch the sunrise on Cuerno Principal. Life was rough.

Here is a picture of the pierced nipple, I think as seen from the approach. The climb goes up the main face to the top.

As you drive East out of Jackson towards Dubois, these huge pinnacles tower above the highway. I am not sure about the climbing history of these but I think it is small if not non-existant.

Gee, once I got here I hated it. What could I say, awful rock with an even worse location. Just kidding, this picture was taken on the island of Virgin Gorda near "The Baths". Amazing granite bouldering by the ocean. Yes, I know this is not puerto rico but there is not area in the route database for the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico is the closest landmass to them

We got up at 3:00, got to the start of the Owen Spalding and found four inches of ice on the rock. That and the thunderheads coming in from the West made us head down.
