Alpine Style

Base camp on the Choktoi Glacier, Pakistan, during an expedition to climb the Ogre (7285m), the sharp peak below the full moon.

Sometimes I find myself on the other side of the lens. Here it's climbing one of the most spectacular a pillars I've ever climbed, that has only formed during the winter of 04/05.

The East and North Faces of Howse peak seen here covered in ice veins, represent some difficult established routes, and future challenges for alpinists.

Chris Brazeau is climbing Dawn of the Dead at the Stanley Headwall. The Headwall is one of the premier attractions to mixed climbers world wide.

Caroline Ware (leading) and Jenn Olson on the fourth pitch of the Sorcerer, a Rockies classic. I soloed the climb beside them in order to shoot photos.

This image was taken from a camp in East Creek (Bugaboos). The shutter was left open for one hour, creating the stars streaks above the Minaret Tower and South Howser Tower.
