Colin Moorhead (leading) and Tom Gruber attempting "The Power of Lard", a 7 pitch 5.12 route on the east face of Snowpatch Spire, in the Bugaboos.

An unknown climber sticks a dyno on a 5.13 at Ceuse, France.

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.

The "Endless Struggle" is the last pitch of the "Power of Lard", and is the splitter crack running the length of the photo. (East face of Snowpatch Spire, Bugaboos B.C.)

North Face of Mt. Robson dominates the view, as Troy Jungen arrives at the summit of Peak 9200 on the Hargreaves Glacier. This was the coldest day we've ever ski toured, and required down jackets, goggles and mitts, even when going uphill.

Rich Marshall sillouetted against a cloud on the classic Curtain Call, a frozen waterfall on the Icefields Parkway, in Jasper National Park, Alberta.

Jeff Relph reaching the virgin summit of Choktoi Spire, a 5900 meter nunatuk on the Choktoi Glacier. This was a consolation prize for us after an attempt on the still unclimbed, South East ridge of the Ogre, Karakorum range, Pakistan.
