PR starting the 4th pitch on Valdez, Alaska's Bridalveil Falls. We're above the killer pillar and ready to simul to the top.

Taken at Valdez Ice Climbing Festival 2005 in Mid Feb. This is Keystone Greensteps (Grade V, 650'/ 200m) and Glass Onion to the left ( Grade V 400'/ 120m) Big Alaskan Ice!

Full shot of Bridal Veil Falls (WI V) with Flying Cloud (V+) on left. One of the main attractions in the canyon.

Climbers top ropping at P.O.S 2005 Festival.

This is a picture of Raincheck, a 250' WI IV Climb outside of Valdez, AK.

This is the bottom portion of Raincheck as seen from our skis planted next to the creek.

This is just a shot I took Christmas Day along the highway leading into Keystone Canyon, and eventually Valdez.

650' of WI5 about 1 minute from the road. Just one of MANY plumbs lined up along the road.

HHiking in to Spring Loaded. The mid-wall ice constitutes the 4th pitch. Original P's 5-7 lead straight up. Our variation veered slightly right on P's 5-7, which is out of view.

This is the first visible sign of Skunk.. a WI2 climb in Bear Creek Canyon near Valdez, Alaska

Start of Glass Onion (V-) Keystone Canyon Valdez. An airy climb!
