GOING TO THE MOUNTAINS?









I'm an ex rock and ice climber. I say (and mean) ex because I just don't have any of the requisite anatomy in functioning order anymore, and ...well, as Harry Callahan said, "A man's gotta know his limitations."

Anyway ... if you're headed up above the tree line or you're a skiier and want to bring home some good images, check THIS site out. It's a look at how the pros do it.

For those of you (skiiers or climbing wannabees) who need an excuse to get out west, you've GOT to go to the Ouray (Colorado) Ice Festival. I've climbed out there and it's some of the best (and the easiest to get to) ice climbing there is. Just on the other side of the mountains from Breckinridge.

This year's event takes place from January 9 to January 13. HERE'S the Web site.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for linking to my blog and post on better expedition photos. And, by the way, great blog you've got going here!

Take care, happy holidays, and all the best in 2008!!
