This is a pretty mind blowing waterfall. There is soo much water coming out of it, that from a hundred meters away you feel like your in a rain storm. The truth of it is, the waterfall has just been exposed from the glacier in the last year. It's amazing what can be created by glaciers besides icebergs and ice climbers!

This was after attempting to climb devils paw and then skiing across the icefield. We basically didn't want to hike down the ridge so we called in for a ride.

This was the deciding factor as to weather we wanted to find our way down Blackerby Ridge in crap weather or good weather.

This mountain is hard to describe. One of the most incredible that I've seen or ever attempted.

Climbing past Ezy in the main couier on the paw.

Ezy climbing up to belay. At this point there was quite a dramatic change in the amount of rockfall and snow sliding down the couier.

Ezy downclimbing the Couier watching snow coming down.

This was right after we took down our camp so that we could begin our journey home.

This is an incredible picture not only because the mountain is rediculously insane but because of the clouds that it was forming late in the morning. This was the only time that was saw the mountain creating these thin clouds.

On our way west to cross the icefield. Michaels Sword, Devils Paw and Ezy.

Ezy gettin read for a long day of skiing. The Taku is in the background with the Taku Towers

After a day and night of skiing we passed Hades Highway and made it off the Taku Glacier to leave Devils Paw 16 miles behind us.

The last sight of Devils paw and 35 miles later

Sittin in the sun trying to decide on a route home. Nothings a whole lot better.

We were extremely confident in the fact that we were getting dropped off basically in the middle of nowhere, based on the fact that we would travel home on our own will power and knowledge.

This is TJ Climbing up behind me as we get closer to the summit of Mount Wrather. Awesome rock gendarmes on the ridges with a great view of the Mendenhall Towers on the top!

This is my buddy Justin belaying Brian on some virgin rout on the Main Tower. It is hard to see him but he's there!

This is me on the summit of the main tower.

This is Jesse doing some bouldering next to the fireplace in my living room!

This is me doing a kegstand. Alaskan Winter Ale... There's absolutly nothing else to be said.

Here is Brian on New Years Eve preparing for the sketchy descent of a serac onto yet another knife edge. Pretty sweet exposer on either side.

Here is Brian yet again in another sketchy spot on Christmas eve. We decided to eat lunch atop a serac with a little notch in the top. There was no other flat spots around. You can't really tell but it drops down around 80 feet on both sides.

This is a beautiful shot of Hood from the Prairies next to the Dechutes River in Eastern Oregon.
