Mountaineering

Odell Gully in Huntington Ravine on Sunday, January 29th. Moderate avalanche danger, 65-85mph winds at the summit and blowing snow into the gullies...and really blowing across the Alpine Gardens.


Travis zips up after belaying me up the first pitch, the only real technical section. If there had been stops for belaying it would have been a whole lot colder.

Perception vs. Reality

With the influx of photographer, writers and television crews to fair Concord it has been interesting to watch other people's styles as we each jostle for space and try to get "the shot." Some will show what is happening from a wider perspective like they've taken a step back. Others choose to show the moment with no other distractions to interfere. I could argue that it is purer to show just how staged these events are. But, to each their own. They have their editors to please and I have mine.
