Alpine Style

Josh Wharton and his partner Bean Bowers (just barely visible) are making the first free ascent of the Casarotto Pillar, Cerro Fitz Roy, Patagonia. Crystal Davis-Robbins and I also made a successful ascent of this sought after, but rarely completed Patagonian classic. A better alpine rock route would be hard to imagine!

Chris Brazeau reaching the second belay stance on the headwall of a new route on the North Face of Mt. Alberta. It was also the first free and first one day ascent of this 1000 meter face.

Paul McSorley hand jams the traverse pitch on the first free and first integral ascent of the West Buttress on Aguja Rafael, El Chalten Massif, Patagonia. The Cerro Torre group stands proudly in the background.
