This guy and his partner made quick work of Energy Crisis while my buddies and I were doing McTech. I would've gotten his name for the credit but they were up and gone! If you know this person I'll gladly give him credit.

Chris and Gary up on the stellar second pitch of McTech Arete in the Bugaboos.

starting with two parallel, splitter handcracks, into a left facing corner with two roofs this is an amazing 5.9 pitch. Perhaps the most enjoyable of this entirely classic climb.

I took this pic of Todd and Ken when we got to the top of Lions Way. Everyone is smiling in spite of the rapidly approaching lightning bolts and cracks of thunder!

I was eagerly eyeing up Brenta Spire (behind me) from this vantage point atop Crescent Spire - and I'm hoping we get back down to the glacier before the storm rolls in!

This Photo was taken late in day after Simon and I ran Up Mc Tech Arete.
