View fullsize Banged out one last climb in the Tetons yesterday with @wilkinsonvisual - Disappointment Peak's East Ridge. Big day car-to-car, but we managed it in 10.5 hours and had nearly perfect weather the entire way! 10+ miles hiking and a mile of vertical gai
View fullsize Climbed a classic linkup in the Cirque of the Towers yesterday with @coltenintheoutdoors, 30 hours c2c (with a bivy in the cirque). Pingora (S) to Wolf's Head (E), full day on the rock and an excellent adventure to be sure! My laptop is dead, so I ca

View fullsize Went comet hunting last night...no luck, neo-wise (see what I did there?) but I got a couple good shots of the Tower nonetheless. Unlike most of my #startrail shots, this one is a single 15' exposure. Not a bad consolation prize, but I'm going for th
