I've thought about it for a while, but haven't had the time...work keeps me busy. For now I try to post up stuff on utahclimbers.com. It's helpful to have climbers of all generations record their most important climbs. Nate Smith did a lot of research while working on his guide. The climbers of the ...

Steve & Merril...hardmen of the 1980's

Ok, I found a 3rd party photo hosting site to replace Photobucket (the extortionists!) I'm using Flickr, a free photohosting site. It's easy to sign in, once you have your photo downloaded, left click on the photo, then click on the curved arrow (bottom right) and then copy the address. (must have u...

Late for Dinner, 5.6 is the most moderate route in AF, it's in the Hard Rock area. It's perhaps my most proud FA down there. Recently this came to light about the approach... "great place to climb with slits and pockets in the limestone. did not like the approach and trail needs to be put in be...

You slackers used to post many excellent ski photos...I'll try and get this going again.

Correct, it's just up canyon from the Wave Wall. The climber in orange, is my brother Jonathan. These falls were my first steep ice leads (1977). Near the top of the pillar, I took a 15' plunge when my humming bird ice tool popped out...my first (but not the last!) fall on ice. These ice falls were ...

Guess where this is...

Jonathan and I have added some SS bolts here. Over the last 25 years, the ground creep and weathering has lowered the base a few feet. This made the first bolt even higher off the ground. After reading the above posts, you'd think the new bolts don't help much but they do. You just need someone who ...

Ted Wilson and Rick Reese at a recent showing of the Teton "Grand Rescue". First ascent team of the Great White Icicle and many others.

That's right! I've got to get a selfie stick. So I was in the up stairs section of the gym doing my usual light workout / warm ups...doing these post surgery pushups where my knees touch the ground. A friend of mine was teasing me about doing "girly pushups"....yet as you mentioned, there ...

Trip report, climbing gym: When the Millcreek Momentum first opened, Les Ellison and I decided to give the new gym a try...what a gong show we provided. On the steep wall, Les huffed and puffed his way up for 40 feet until he unexpectedly popped off. Back on the ground, he was unable to untie his kn...
