This was a picture taken while hiking on a near by ridge

my toe rope tightend between two cars...

Sandy getting ready the morning following an open bivy near the mint hut in October '04.

This is a view of the Mint hut with backdoor gap above it. Photo taken in October '04

What remains of the crashed Air Force Bomber. Not much after years of scavenging. I found an old survival kit on top of a nearby peak.

F-bouldering. Hatcher was made for skiing. Tele-ing down Marmot peak on a typical winter day.

Looking down the valley at lower Reed Lake from the trail heading to the upper lake. Just a beautiful day! Can you see the tent?

Just a look down the valley toward the abandoned Snowbird mine village. What a beautiful day!

Sometimes Alaska seems pretty big. Without a doubt, this boulderfield is. This is only a small portion of it...

Just having fun in Hatchers Pass whilst searching for new boulders.

Just snapped this tonight after exploring some different possible climbing areas...to no avail. It is so beautiful in this state.

This is a shot of the Lower Diamond from the road. If you look closely, you can see a couple of climbers at the base of Toto (5.7), the central crack system on the face. There is also a difficult to see blue speck that is the lead climber about 75 feet up the route. The white rock (not snow), is from a recent rockfall (last ten years) from the ridge behind the Diamond.

I took this photo in late fall looking north up the Mint Glacier Trail valley. I believe that the mountain on the right is Troublemint. The other mountain may be Spearmint. Apparently there is a journal with route information at the Mint Hut (~8 miles up the trail?) I know that there is a moderate rock and snow route up the north side of Troublemint.
