Shoshoni Peak in the Indian Peaks Wilderness was the goal for the day, but weather dictated a more conservative approach. self portrait by shorty, 9/93.

Brad Goulding (L) and shorty on Torreys. Great conditions after summitting via the Kelso Ridge. Photo by a surprised hiker ("Where did you guys come from?") who couldn't aim a camera. shorty collection, 10/94.

The final section of the Kelso Ridge, Torreys Peak. On a stormy fall day worthy of Scottish "full" conditions, this was our one moment of visibility - after the crux. photo by shorty, 10/94.

Bill Morris at the base of Popo's snowfield, with Ixta in the background. We had just descended Popo and were feeling the effects of the heavy sulfur plume from the summit. photo by shorty, 12/92.

Shorty on the North Ridge of Mt. Toll, Indian Peaks Wilderness. A pleasant 5.6 alpine route of 4-6 pitches. The North Face poster boy look was courtesy of a howling northerly wind. photo by Bill Morris, 9/92.

What can you say when the route, the rock, and the exposure all come together - climbing doesn't get much better. photo of shorty by Tom Andrews, 9/95.

shorty on the summit of Otis Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Longs Peak in the background. A brutally cold day - at least the wind stopped for the shot. photo by Jennifer Sears, 2/92.

Shorty enjoying good rock and warm sun in Texas. photo from shorty collection, 3/97.

I turned to Phil & Mark and stated the obvious here, "That was our last picket - everyone be cool." Often rated AI2 5.4, the Y Couloir gave us unconsolidated AI3 snow, a wet 5.7 slab in mountaineering boots, and a 5.6 face which we frontpointed with flexible crampons - yikes! Great fun. photo by shorty, 7/97.
